“…the few people with no opinion at the national level compared to the larger number of those with no opinion in state offices.”
Isn’t it amazing that people are willing to admit they may be ignorant – and, have “no opinion” – of what is going on in their own state, but are convinced they know what is going on in Washington?

Wish there were a few questions on domestic spying and interventionism in there, but overall a decent poll. I’m rather shocked at the number of people who believe SC is “getting better.”

…at the same time they think the nation is getting worse.
Do they really think SC is doing better than the nation? Since when? When do they think we went out ahead of the nation on anything?
Did they think of that comparison at all when they came to their conclusion that SC is doing better?
Speaks to their willingness to admit they have ‘no opinion’ on so many state issues, while they appear to feel they know everything about national issues; but, appear to see no inconsistency in those positions.
Are they implying the media is doing a better job of keeping them ‘informed’ on national issues, but not those related to the state?

Based on these numbers, Sen. Graham better open up the checkbook to all that cash if he wants to make it out of the primary.

I’m 100% confident he’ll at least make it to the runoff, and personally, pretty confident he will win the runoff.

Don’t underestimate the dumb vote.

If Graham is pushed into a runoff, he is in deep shit. Period. If he can’t get to 50.1 with all that money, he will be dead man walking. Just ask Bob Inglis.

Bogus question. It should have included Democrats in Congress, especially since they control the Senate.

Among the Winthrop Poll findings:
· S.C. residents (47.3%) blame Republicans in Congress for the recent government shutdown. Nearly 29% blame President Barack Obama, while 20% blame them equally.

T28 As you know, President Obama and the Republicans in Congress did not meet a key deadline for a budget agreement, and this led to a shutdown of the federal government. Who do you think is more to blame for this
shutdown, President Obama or the Republicans in Congress? [ANSWERS ROTATED]

All
President Obama 28.8
Republicans in Congress 47.3
Both Equal (volunteered) 20.3
Not Sure 2.5
Refused 1.1
