.MaddowBlog: Poll answers the ‘What happened to Sen. Graham?’ question
It wasn’t long after Sen. Lindsey Graham was elected to the Senate in 2002 that he positioned himself as one of the chamber’s more constructive lawmakers. It’s not that Graham was a moderate on the major issues of the day – he’s always been a rather staunch conservative – but he demonstrated a willingness to forge relationships and work on bipartisan agreements.
There’s no shortage of speculation as to what caused Graham’s metamorphosis, and as we recently discussed, there are even occasional conspiracy theories about Trump having something damaging on the senator, which the president uses to extort Graham into compliance. Regarding U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, his approval rating among Republicans has continued to rise, it now stands at 74% in the Winthrop Poll. Only 25% of Democrats polled support Graham.
Today, his approval among South Carolina Republicans is 74% – and the chatter about a primary challenge has disappeared.
