A Trafalgar Group poll released Saturday shows Sen. Darline Graham's lead over Democrat Annie Andrews in South Carolina's U.S. Senate race narrowing to just 1.1 percentage points, well ithin the survey's margin of error.
The survey, conducted Sept. 23-25 among 1,087 likely voters, found Graham leading Andrews 43.4% to 42.3%. Another 5.9% chose another candidate, and 8.5% were undecided.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. Trafalgar’s release did not name an outside sponsor.
Trafalgar, a Republican-aligned pollster run by veteran strategist Robert Cahaly, blends live callers, automated phone calls, texts, emails, and online opt-in panels rather than the lengthier live-phone interviews some rivals use, its methodology shows.
Graham has held the seat by appointment since mid-July, after South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster named her to replace her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died July 11 of a torn aorta, according to preliminary medical findings.
She defeated Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., a member of the House Freedom Caucus, in an Aug. 25 runoff to win the Republican nomination for a full six-year term.
President Donald Trump endorsed Graham and campaigned for her.
The close race comes amid continued frustration among some conservatives who backed Norman in the primary.

I don’t like her, but she’s still better than a democrat.
It’s cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.
“It’s cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.”
More like:
“And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
Matthew 5:29
If Democrats are elected, this country goes to Hell. And no, that’s not cursing or exaggerated.
Once again, a weak candidate might cost the GOP a seat that should be safe.
This whole thing is swamp to the nth degree just like GA before it which lead to Ossoff becoming a senator in the first place.
“I don’t like her, but she’s still better than a democrat.”
True enough.
All that matters is how they vote in the Senate, character doesn’t matter.
I used to wonder how it could get worse for NC than Linsey Graham. My question has been answered and it’s now a case of worse and much worse
We can pound our chests and scream fake polling all day, but if you pick unwilling candidates, you stand a chance to lose even in a Red State.
Which means she wins by 5+
We suck at recruiting quality Senate candidates.
It should be 60-40 in our favor.
Not so sure about that. She's a RINO.
She’s not perfect but she will vote on whatever Trump wants so for me thats a plus and she’s better than ANY commie thats for damn sure
Bingo.
My prediction? We'll hold on to the Senate but barely.
Assuming Republicans hold Maine and capture Michigan, while Democrats flip Alaska, Ohio, North Carolina, and Iowa, the Senate ends 50–50.
We'll have Fetterman as the 51st vote on certain issues such as the Iran War.
I’ve already voted absentee in SC.
Plus, people gotta look around, most of the GOP in the Senate are RINO douche bags, they wont even pass the damn SAVE ACT..they wont do the filibuster because “Our friends across the aisle will do it” like I said, brain dead idiots..but I’ll take a jackass RINO Republican over full blown Communists any day of the week and twice on Sundays
Likely to become yet another Murky/Collins PITA.
correct. A Demon Rat would be way way way way way way worse.
