Graham has had quite the journey since he last faced voters in 2014, winning a third term by 17 points. And it now appears that being all over the political map has come at a cost for the South Carolina Republican. In a Quinnipiac University poll released earlier this month, Harris and Graham were tied at 44%. The state remains conservative at its core; there's a reason that Fritz Hollings, a conservative Democrat, was the last member of his party to hold a South Carolina Senate seat. Graham has proven since winning a Senate seat back in 2002 that he is a savvy pol and campaigner.
