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.

Ran for POTUS-doesn’t want to be in the senate. Needs the limelight. We need to throw him out but a primary challenge won’t happen. Trump could dump his ass by putting him in at justice 2 years before his senate term expires. He won’t take it because he doesn’t want the negative bad guy role. He wants the State Department and will run it like an attention whore. Think Kissinger.
His senate successor will be like Nancy Mace-cut from the same cloth.
A little red meat for the peasants.
Graham will give a fiery senate speech condemning the Democrats like he did during the Kavanaugh hearings and moderate Freepers will praise him for his conservatism.
Works every time.
Republicans need to go with a viable candidate that’s going to vote the will of the people he or she serves. At this point, I don’t care if the candidate is a trans drag queen fursuiter that identifies as an alien hive queen as long as he/she/it/them/@Q)U%RQ@0/whatever votes for conservative projects and values... and neither should you if that’s what it takes to win the election.
He could still run for president, couldn’t he ¿¿¿
/s
you got it!
Well, I guess I won’t be one of those Freepers praising him; I think Atilla The Hun was a faggy-ass liberal.
You can imagine what I think of Linda Grahamnisty (cough, cough FAGGOT).

Certainly in the top ten of the most worthless politicians in this country’s history.
I will never forget how Linda and Turtle used Trump to get reelected and then stabbed him in MAGA in the back by standing down about the stolen election. If either of them were to drop dead tomorrow, I wouldn’t shed a tear.
Plus Sean Hannity is his boyfriend...lol /s
And yet, somehow, he will be reelected.
Graham lost most GOP and Conservative support years ago when he was a major supporter for John (canary) McCain.
