Graham Holds Double-Digit Lead in South Carolina

A new Palmetto Politics poll in South Carolina finds Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) leading a four-way race for U.S. Senate with 45%, followed by Brad Hutto (D) at 33%, Thomas Ravenel (I) at 10% and Victor Kocher (L) at 4%.

The poll also found President Obama’s approval rating at just 39%.

Said pollster Jim Lee: “I think the elephant in the room in the Senate race is Obama’s approval rating. That’s really the reason why, in my opinion, Hutto is not competitive.”
