South Carolina Republicans like former Florida governor John E. “Jeb” Bush for president, while continuing to support Sen. Lindsey O. Graham for re-nomination against a host of conservative challengers.
“Jeb Bush shows strength across many of the poll’s crosstabs and was the choice of 22 percent of the respondents compared to his 16 percent in our November poll,” said Doug Kaplan, the president of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based polling company.
“In the GOP Senate primary survey, Graham polled 60 percent against the field compared to his 54 percent in our November poll,” he said. In the case that no candidate receives more than 50 percent in the June 10 primary, the two top vote getters run in a runoff primary.
Jackie Bodnar, a spokeswoman for Freedom Works said the field of challengers is still taking shape and shaking out. “The filing deadline is not until the end of the month, and I think that’s where you’re going to see a lot of the grassroots start to unify around a single challenger. Unity is going to be key in taking on an entrenched Beltway operator like Lindsey Graham.”
After Graham, respondents chose state Sen. Bright Lee, 10 percent; liberal operative Nancy R. Mace, 7 percent; Richard Cash, 4 percent and lawyer and Afghanistan War veteran Bill Connor, 2 percent.
“These findings really stretch credulity,” Bright said. “There’s not a group of Republicans outside of the Senate dining room where Lindsey Graham is in the 60s.”

Good grief....what is wrong with SC?? Are they afflicted by the same disease that AZ has?
SC, Just Say NO....to Lindy and the Jebs!!!
Or if they do they lie to through the stupid polls off.
Bogus poll.
Just remember that SC gave us Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott.
I don’t want FOP, I’m a Dapper Dan man.
(I can get it for you from Bristol in 2 weeks)
>But, don’t forget: Newt Gingrich won SC in 2012. He’s no Liberal.
Newt of 2012 is not the Newt of 1994-8.
Well here’s one challenger that calls a spade a spade. If the voters of SC had any sense whatsover they wouldn’t vote again for RINO McCain-stooge Linda Graham.
“But a news conference announcing their alliance on the State House steps took an unexpected turn when the most minor of the candidates, Dave Feliciano of Spartanburg, took the podium and called Graham “ambiguously gay.”
Feliciano said, “It’s about time that South Carolina (says) hey, We’re tired of the ambiguously gay senator from South Carolina. We’re ready for a new leader to merge the Republican Party. We’re done with this. This is what it’s about, all of us coming together and saying, one way or the other, one of us is going to be on that ballot in November.”

“Stay out the bushes” was a jesse jerkson slogan back in the papa bush days. Globalists need not apply
“If true, the people in South Carolina are freakin nuts. “
I guess 60% of South Caroling republicans are RINOS.
Y’all down there in South Carolina need to quit drinking that swamp water. It’s as bad as drinking the kool-aid. Y’all keep it up, an’ y’all be turning blue.
Linda Graham shouldn’t even be polling 5%
This country is done
If we can’t even count on Southern Republicans to pay the F!@#* attention and do the right thing then it’s over
The Senate Conservatives need to get behind one of these challengers FAST.
Well you didn't beat the delusional "All the polls are rigged" posters. Geez, ya' think they would have quit after 2008 and 2012
Well that explaining things. thanks.
“But, don’t forget: Newt Gingrich won SC in 2012. He’s no Liberal.”
Except for that lil hand-holding on a park bench with Nazi Pelosi to promote Gorebull warming...
We get the California/illegal effect here in Texas, it sucks.
I don’t answer my phone much anymore. I suspect a lot of SCarlinians do not.
“Anybody but Lindsey” is right at 40 plus percent, and that ought to really scare the silly boy.
No, we need someone who understands that if we don't cut government and taxes we'll lose America.
10-year voting moratorium imposed on ALL carpetbaggers from out of state. Spend 10 years assimilating; then we let you vote.
I would love to see this guy in the Senate, come on S.C. send someone bright to the Senate.
Guess S.C. GOP likes losers. And those 2 are real zero’s.
