SC Repugs to Lindsey Graham: Don't go away mad. Just go away.


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has lost just about all viability as a presidential candidate in his home state, with nearly 8 in 10 Republican primary voters in South Carolina now saying that he should drop out of the race for the White House.

According to a poll released Wednesday by Public Policy Polling, a private firm that typically works with Democratic clients, only 15 percent of Republican primary voters in South Carolina think Graham should continue on with his campaign.

In a hypothetical Republican primary horse race, Graham manages to only capture 3 percent of the vote, placing him in a four-way tie with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.).

Given a choice between Graham and real estate mogul Donald Trump, 72 percent of the state's GOP primary voters said they would go for Trump, compared to just 20 percent for Graham.
