PPP: Republicans Favored to Hold Governor’s Seat
The latest polling from Public Policy Polling of the South Carolina gubernatorial race shows the Republican candidates with comfortable over the Democrats. AG Henry McMaster at this point seems to be the best prospect for the GOP as he leads Democrats Jim Rex 40 – 31, Vincent Sheheen 41 – 26, and Robert Ford 42-27. Congressman Gresham Barrett has similar leads but with slightly smaller gaps. McMaster has the highest approval rating of the three Republican candidates polled while Barrett has the lowest. The only real competitive match up at this point would be between Lt Gov Andre Bauer and Jim Rex in which Rex actually holds a one point lead over Bauer.
Republican candidate Nikki Haley was not included the poll. She is the only Republican I consider supporting at this point. Robert Ford is the only Democrat I would vote for.
