South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has opened up a lead over Jaime Harrison following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, becoming one of a handful of Republican incumbents to see his standing improve amid the fight over appointing a new justice to the high court.
New Morning Consult Political Intelligence tracking conducted Oct. 2-11 found Graham leads his Democratic opponent by 6 percentage points, 48 percent to 42 percent, among 903 likely voters in South Carolina — a notable improvement from his margins over the past few months, when he was either trailing or tied with his well-funded challenger. The latest poll has a margin of error of 3 points.

Republican Sens. David Perdue of Georgia, John Cornyn of Texas have also improved their standing since Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Sept. 18.
Meanwhile, Democrats have expanded their lead in Colorado, and maintain the upper hand in Arizona, Michigan and North Carolina.

He was not losing. Not with Trump on the ballot.
Yeah, push comes to shove Trump will do a couple of rallies there and drag Linda’s sorry ass across the finish line.
Concerning Michigan, even the NYT now says James has the lead over the Dem incumbent.
Yes. I have watched the hearings faithfully, yesterday and today, and Senator Graham is doing a wonderful job.
As much as I despise Lindsey Graham, he is still far better than any dimoKKKRAT.
I find it hard to believe the guy with multiple adulterous affairs is going to win North Carolina, but I guess we will see. It isn’t a live boy or a dead girl.
If Morning Consult is saying this, that is a healthy lead.
god, i must have dyslexia or something.
I looked at the headline and thought it said “Harrison takes lead over Graham in South Carolina”.
I started thinking Oh No...
I do hope the woman running against him spends her entire 57 million dollars. If money could buy elections, we’d be talking about President Bloomberg now.
20 days out and the polls are shifting, just like clockwork.
We don’t need to lose ANY seats. Including a bunch of rinos.
Based on these numbers and the trend, Graham will probably win 55-45.
Graham as redeemed himself quite a bit since McCain has gone to his reward.
I totally agree - if we lose the Senate, we lose the country
Let the Demonrats spend $100 million in this race. South Carolina isn’t going to elect a Black Stalinazi and Soros puppet to the Senate seat, even against Graham.
He’s only *back* in the lead if you bought into the media narrative that he was originally behind. Most of these polls are complete hog wash.
Great news!
