Annie Andrews and Darline Graham Tied in Deadlocked South Carolina Senate Race, Poll Shows
Three new polls show the race essentially tied as Democrats pour money into a seat Republicans once considered safe.
- A New York Times/Siena poll released Wednesday shows Republican Senator Darline Graham tied at 48 percent with Democratic challenger Annie Andrews, tightening the race for the seat formerly held by the late Lindsey Graham.
- President Donald Trump recruited Graham to finish her brother's term and actively campaigns for her, yet Andrews maintains a fundraising advantage with $24 million against Graham's war chest of less than $2 million.
- Outside Republican groups have spent $9.7 million since October 1 to support Graham or attack Andrews, serving as an 'insurance policy,' per Axios, to defend a seat Lindsey Graham previously won by more than 10 percent.
- Nonpartisan election forecasters, including the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball, have shifted the race from 'likely Republican' to 'lean Republican' as polling margins narrow.
- With Election Day less than a week away, candidates are making final pushes to secure the 15 percent of undecided voters, determining if Republicans can retain control of a seat held since 1998.
