Polls: Senate races in Alaska and South Carolina are surprisingly competitive for Democrats
Republicans are still favored in Alaska and South Carolina. But overall, Democratic hopes of a Senate majority are looking up.
A pair of new Senate polls from the New York Times and Siena College this week show Democrats pressing for an advantage in two traditionally conservative states — Alaska and South Carolina — as November 3 closes in.
In Alaska, the Times/Siena poll found independent Senate candidate Al Gross — who is running as the Democratic nominee — trailing incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan by about 8 percentage points, with third-party candidate John Howe’s support at 10 percent.
And in South Carolina, the Siena pollsters found that Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham continues to face a far closer race than expected, with Democrat Jaime Harrison just 6 percentage points behind his rival and riding a wave of momentum. In 2014, by comparison, Graham won reelection by more than 15 percentage points.

Any surprise after she completely botched the question in the recent debate with Theresa Greenfield? She had absolutely no clue about the price of common commodities that her state and a huge number of constituents depend on for their livelihood.
She showed that she's in the seat for politics, not to represent her constituency. And the Iowa Farm Bureau has now realized who will stand up for the Iowa farming community. She's an embarassment to the state in more ways than one.
