Republican U.S. Sen Lindsey Graham has something in common with President Joe Biden: increasing unpopularity among South Carolinians, according to a new poll.
When asked how satisfied they were with the way Graham and Biden are handling their jobs in Washington, 30% of South Carolina voters polled say they approve Graham’s performance, compared to 29% for Biden, according to the latest Winthrop University Poll. Since Winthrop’s last poll in May, Graham’s and Biden’s approval ratings have dipped by 2% and 1%, respectively.
“Graham’s approval ratings overall are nearly as bad as those for President Biden,” said the poll’s director, Scott Huffmon, a political scientist at Winthrop. “This stems from only getting approval from half of his Republican base. Questions about Graham’s GOP base support are likely to fuel speculation that he may face a serious primary challenge in his next election.”
Indeed, South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman, a Rock Hill Republican, is considered a likely challenger for Graham in the 2026 Republican primary, when Graham is up for reelection, Politico reported in July.
Broken down by political party, 49% of South Carolina Republicans polled approve of Graham, compared to 5% for Biden. And 18% of Democrats support Graham, compared to 72% for Biden.

Will the Republicans nominate another light in the loafers guy to replace him?
They may as well cut out the middleman and just let the Boeing Corp. CEO take this seat in the U.S. Senate.
Like most senators, ol Linds has a pretty strong machine keeping him in his seat.
Linda Graham almost as unpopular in SC as Joe Biden, new poll shows (she’s in her final term.....
or did you mean final trimester?
I just assumed she was beyond the age of reproduction?
If Trump isn’t the President he might be done. If Trump wins he will win because Trump will back him 100% because he’s stayed loyal to Trump throughout the primary and Trump will honor that and endorse him.
Vote him out in 2026!
You mean Lady G?
Lindsey is the walking, talking, spitting image of what is wrong with American Government!
I remember when Linda ran for President. She was polling at 1% in her own
Home State. She dropped out before any Primary votes started. LOL.
I hope he’s primaried.
Graham will do the same thing he does every election. A year out start pretending to be a conservative so that the voters forget the five years previous.
The voters of SC must not be too bright as they fall for it every time.
faggot
The loafer thing doesn't bother me. It's the obvious Clintonian triangulation on every issue, that announces we can't trust what he says.
Well, when he wants our F-16s for a country that is not an ally or not a member of NATO, engaged in a war that is not ours, and depletes our critical Military materials, then I believe him.
The Republican party voters will not remember Graham kindly, at all.
As for Linsey Graham's allegiance? "RINO" doesn't even cover it. Lindsey Graham. Arlen Specter without the charm.
Always worked for McCain…
And to think they’re both less popular than scabies.
Don’t over look, he will start talking and acting like a conservative the year before his election. And, because history starts every morning when they turn on the news for most voters, he will appear conservative. I mean, read some of the posts here by “conservatives” taking about how Haley, or Pence, or name your rino performed in the most recent debate
Asshole cost us the midterms with his stupid Federal Abortion Ban proposal. He knew what he was doing.
