President, SC Bush (R) 51% Kerry (D) 44% Other/Undecided 5%

U.S. Senate, SC DeMint (R) 48% Tenenbaum (D) 41% Other/Undecided 11%

It is now certain that we will pick up 2 Senate seats. Bush is ahead by an even larger margin than seven points, and SurveyUSA oversamples Dems in SC as those of you who followed 2002 may remember. Congratulations again to my South Carolina friends.

Its interesting the difference in undecided between the Prez and Senate race polls, 6% less for the Prez, is split evenly between Bush and Kerry. If the rest of the undecided does the same thing then DeMint should win.

That's still a single-didget margin. While it's not within the margin of error, it's still a competitive race. But it's good news nonetheless that DeMint has pulled ahead.

Another home state of 'Breck Girl' Edwards (born in S.C. - won that primary) that's not being swayed sufficiently to reward the Straight(?) Flush ticket with a serious bump in the polls.

The poll is a bit depressing considering Bush won SC by 57% to 41% in 2000.

Ahhh - great news!

geez..guy..can't you be happy about anything?

[mkj6080]

I know. But SC is a bedrock conservative state and Bush is polling barely above 50%. He should be around 60%.

It's a Dem poll....and it's early...and a litle native son Edwards bounce..

We've looked for WMD in Iraq for LESS time than Hillary looked for the Rose Law firm billing records.

Excellent tag line!

""...Excellent tag line..."

Thank you.. I lifted it from an article posted somewhere here last month.. I've temporarily retired my "original" effort:

"Ann Coulter needs to have children ASAP to propogate her gene pool. Any volunteers?"

I sure hope der Fritz keeps on writing those opinion pieces in the Charleston paper. After reading his thoughts I bet his wife is supporting stem cell research too.

It's the 11% undecided that has me worried...

[CommerceComet]

I'm very suspicious about this poll. It doesn't pass the smell test. I don't know much about the SurveyUSA polls but yesterday's Florida poll and today's SC poll seem to be out-of-line with the other polls.

This poll sounds like it's definitely under-sampling Reps. How could President Bush possibly be only 7 points ahead in SC?? That means DeMint could be ahead by even more!!
