Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is facing a difficult re-election campaign, as his favorability among Republican primary voters appears to be on the decline. A newly released poll from Quantus Insights—one of the most accurate polling firms in recent election cycles—indicates Graham is struggling to maintain solid support within his own party.

The survey, which polled 600 registered voters in South Carolina between June 10 and 13, found that Graham’s overall approval rating stands at just 41 percent, while 46 percent of respondents disapprove of the job he’s doing. An additional 13 percent said they are currently undecided about the senator’s performance. These figures signal a troubling trend for Graham, who has long been a prominent figure in Republican politics.

Among Republican respondents, the numbers are equally concerning for the longtime senator. When asked about their intentions in the upcoming Republican primary, 22 percent said they would “definitely” support a challenger to Graham, while 23 percent said they would “probably” back someone else. That means nearly half of Republican primary voters are already leaning away from supporting the incumbent.

Only 34 percent of Republican voters stated they would “definitely” support Graham in the primary, a figure that highlights the lack of strong enthusiasm for his candidacy. Additionally, 21 percent of GOP voters said they remain undecided, leaving room for a challenger to potentially consolidate support.

At present, it is unclear whether more challengers will enter the race. However, South Carolina businessman Mark Lynch has already declared his candidacy and appears to be building momentum. Lynch has released internal campaign polling that echoes the findings of Quantus Insights—namely, that a significant number of Republican voters are dissatisfied with Graham’s performance and are open to considering alternatives.

In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup between Graham and Lynch, 48 percent of respondents said they would support Graham, while just 23 percent indicated support for Lynch. However, a notable 29 percent remain undecided, suggesting that there is still considerable fluidity in the race and an opening for Lynch to gain ground.

Lynch is currently the only declared Republican challenger to Graham, but his campaign is positioning him as a viable alternative. Last month, his team released internal polling data showing that 57 percent of Republican primary voters in the state “would not vote for Lindsey Graham if the election were held today.”

In that same poll, Graham was unable to secure majority support in a one-on-one contest, with 43 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him compared to 29 percent for Lynch. A further 23 percent remained unsure.

Voter sentiment around Graham’s overall record is also tepid. Only 37 percent of likely Republican primary voters said they would vote for him based on his past performance, while 28 percent said they were unsure.

Lynch has been vocal in his criticism of Graham. “At a time when the career politicians in D.C. are digging in their heels, and despite the fact that Trump needs all the allies he can get in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House,” Lynch said. “Lindsey Graham voted against codifying Trump’s and Elon’s DOGE reforms. He’s working behind the scenes to scuttle Trump’s nominees. He just recently voted to send more cash to Ukraine with USAID, and Lindsey even pushed budget legislation Trump publicly opposes,” he added.

A spokesperson for Graham’s campaign dismissed Lynch’s internal poll and reaffirmed the senator’s backing from former President Donald Trump. “Mark Lynch’s poll is fake news,” the spokesperson told Breitbart News.

“In response to, ‘Lynch said in a statement that now is the time President Donald Trump needs politicians around him he can trust to enact his MAGA agenda for the American people.’ We agree. That’s exactly why President Trump has given Senator Graham his ‘Complete and Total Endorsement.’”
