Sen. Graham finds himself in a dead heat with his well-funded Democratic challenger, Jamie Harrison, who has defied expectations.
As of Oct. 1, Harrison and Democratic allies had spent $29 million on television advertising, compared to just $10.7 million by Graham and Republicans, according to ad tracking from Advertising Analytics. And 25 percent of pro-Harrison advertising has been in the northwestern part of the state, which includes Greenville and Spartanburg, where Trump has significant support.
Jack, a voter who would not give his last name, said he continues to support Graham and the push to confirm Barrett ahead of Election Day."I just think he's been tried and true," he said of Graham. He called on Graham to"just be a man of it and stand up and say: 'You know what? I changed my mind.'" Meanwhile, Graham is also trying to dig into Harrison's lead among independents, especially women. The Quinnipiac poll showed Harrison leading Graham among independents by 54 percent to 39 percent. And both Harrison and presidential nominee Joe Biden are leading their Republican opponents among women by 10 points.
While the polling is close, Harrison still has to overcome the fact that South Carolina is a conservative state.indicate that Republicans make up about 46 percent of the electorate, Democrats about 27 percent and independents about 26 percent, making it difficult for a Democrat to win statewide.
