C’mon Lindsey, convert and get it over with.
. . . . Lindsey Graham has slightly positive approval numbers, with 40% approving of the job he’s doing to 37% who disapprove. In quite an unusual twist for a Republican Senator his 39% approval with liberals is higher than his 32% mark with conservatives. Graham continues to be one of the most popular Senators in the country with the other party, as only 38% of Democrats disapprove of him while almost as many at 31% approve. But he also continues to be one of the most unpopular Senators in the country with his own party, as only 43% of Republicans approve of him to 36% who disapprove.
Graham’s crossover support means that he’s virtually unbeatable in a general election. Getting to November may be the bigger challenge for him and we’ll have numbers later this week looking more specifically at how the Republican primary electorate in South Carolina is feeling about him these days.
