The Club For Growth is backing Tim Scott, so this poll should be taken with a grain of salt, but I don’t think that the organization is paying anyone to lie to them. At the very least, Scott is in the top tier of candidates.
Scott has my endorsement in this race. Unlike those who have the names of their fathers for viability and visibility, Scott has earned it through his own personal achievements.
Heck. I’m for Jenrette.
I was absolutely flabbergasted by this poll. The sons of Strom Thurmond and Carroll Campbell in single digits, and Tim Scott beating them by over 20%? Sounds too good to be true.
The poll can’t be *that* far off, so I think we can take from it that Scott, who is a terrific candidate and could become a star in Congress, has an excellent chance of making the run-off (with so many prominent candidates, no one will get 50% in the first round). I hope that Scott doesn’t suffer the same fate as fellow black conservatives Dylan Glenn and Vernon Robinson, who were held to 45% in the run-off.
