Republican Nikki Haley appears to be in prime position to take the governor's mansion in several weeks. She is cruising over her Democratic opponent and remains popular to South Carolina voters. The newest polling seems to reinforce the message of a victory for the Tea Party candidate.
This poll comes from Rasmussen, the most accurate of the major pollsters. Not only does it show Haley in the lead, but seems to confirm a trend which shows her with a significant lead. While this is not the largest lead that Haley has had during this cycle, it is still almost unbeatable at this point.
The elections cycle in South Carolina has been vicious this year. Between Governor Mark Sanford's messy public affair and divorce and Jim Demint's Democratic challenger Alvin Greene, it surely has been strange. Haley was hit with multiple accusations of extra-marital affairs, all of which she not only denied but promised to resign if they were proven true. So far, no proof has come out.
Haley (R): 47%
Sheheen (D): 38%
Other/und: 15%
Sheheen's weak position coupled with Haley's popularity is sure to carry her across the finish line. The high number of undecideds are something to keep in mind as Haley does not reach 50% in this poll. Rasmussen, the most accurate pollster, had Haley up by 17% in September.
