Sen. Lindsey Graham’s presidential campaign has had a tough time getting traction so far, and a new Quinnipiac University poll keeps him in the conversation about who might be the first of the 17 Republican presidential candidates to fold.
But do his low poll numbers suggest the end is near?
The poll released Thursday showed nothing new: The South Carolina Republican has been unable to differentiate himself from other candidates in any way. But the national poll — which says that 13 percent of Republican or leans-Republican voters said they’d never vote for him and zero percent said they would vote for him — shows that things are not improving.
Even “someone else” polled at 1 percent (cue the joke about how hard it would be to find someone else who isn’t already in the race). The highest Graham polled nationally was at 2 percent, according to Real Clear Politics.
In Graham’s home state, he’s polling at 5 percent, and in New Hampshire, where he hoped to get a bump from the prior success of his buddy, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Graham is polling only at 1 percent, according to Real Clear Politics averages.
And his campaign, centered on hawkish defense positions, has now largely devolved into a sideshow of Graham vs. GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

Graham will stay in the race until he has served his purpose as a tool to give Jeb a plurality in the vital South Carolina primary and not one second before.
I hope he fails in his assigned task so spectacularly that his career is over.
Lindsey Graham is running? Who knew? More importantly, who cares?
I think it’s more likely it will end his career.
The longer the better, keeps him out of the Senate. Though honestly I don’t know if it matters much since he’s just McCain’s lap dog.
Until her makeup wears off.
The only race Senator Poodle is in is the one to the Halloween store for a “Call me Katlin” costume.
LOL...Good one! Actually, the Bionic Woman was a groupie at the Playboy mansion before she played that role. I am sure her acting skills were super for Hef!
Lindsey Graham’s few supporters would otherwise be Jeb voters. I hope he stays for a long time, to split the RINO vote.
The only influence Linda Gramnesty has in the Senate is doing LAP DANCES for McSwine and the Post Turtle.
