The poll, conducted by veteran Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher, finds Graham at 43 percent and Harrison at 41 percent. That’s within the survey’s 3.5-point margin of error.
The survey found that 51 percent of respondents disapprove of the work that Graham is doing. About 33 percent of South Carolina voters surveyed said Graham deserves to be reelected, and 59 percent said it is time for someone new.
“The polls show a clear picture: This is a closed and competitive race,” said Belcher, president of Brilliant Corners Research and Strategies. “Most voters do not believe Lindsey Graham deserves to be reelected, and the more they learn about Jaime Harrison, the more they support him.”

The internal poll found Harrison leading by 13 points among millennials and 7 points among suburban voters.
“This grassroots movement has been gaining momentum since Jaime entered the race last year,” said Harrison’s campaign spokesman, Guy King. “South Carolina voters across the political spectrum see Lindsey Graham as a shell of her former self. As he continues to play political games in Washington, Jaime Harrison continues to fight to restore hope in our state, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic wreaks havoc on the health, safety, and economic security of families in South Carolina. ”
The survey of 800 potential voters in South Carolina was conducted between July 13 and 19 and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
