Rasmussen is biased towards the right. This will be a very close election. Haley is a joke.
lol Rasmussen isn't even with Rasmussen anymore. He also was most accurate in the 2010 midterms, while your Democrat pollsters had oversampled Democrat voters big time.
You are a real leftwing guy, a tiny minority in SC. WHy would you think a Democrat could beat Haley, given the unpopularity of Obama and Obamacare and the horrible economy in 6 years under Obama? You live in a fantasy world in which Democrats never pay a price for their record. If he couldn't beat her 4 years ago when Obama mania was going on, why would he beat her now? He's not going to out conservative her, which is his strategy.
For him to even be close, he's going to have to lie about what he believes. He's going to throw what you believe under the bus in his campaign.
- She let 4,500,000 SC residents personal and financial information get hacked and stolen. We'll be dealing with that for decades folks. I've already had 2 debit cards cancelled due to fraudulent charges.
- She allowed our roads to crumble, and appointed the DOT director who got arrested for DUI on the day of a major roadway crisis during the snowstorm in January- AND he said his job was "to manage the decline of the highway system in SC". DECLINE?? When was it up?
- We are still among the worst in the nation for violent crime rage
- We are still among the worst in the nation for public education
- We are still among the worst in the nation for teen pregnancy and STD's
But HEY, they are bringing in lots of low wage jobs, so if you wanna work the cash register at Cabelas or be a cook at Sonic, Nikki Haley has some good news for ya!
But I agree Nikki Haley will win, by a large margin.
And that has more to do with the state of the electorate in South Carolina. Not the views of either candidate. 65% of people in this state are completely brainwashed by Fox and the right wing to vote Republican, no matter what.
Hell, Mark Sanford and Thomas Ravenel are back in politics for God's sake.

I don't think anybody who supports the party of Bill CLinton and Ted Kennedy and Robert KKK Byrd can talk much about Sanford, or Ravenel who was never a big player regardless.
I don't think people are brainwashed into supporting lower taxes and pro-business and pro-economic growth policies that Democrats oppose. Or wanting to pay reasonable rates for healthcare and not being fined by the government for opting out of crazy rates induced by a horrible law taking over healthcare insurance.
I note that you insult the people of SC and hold yourself above them. Pretentious, much?

If right wing policies are pro-economic growth, and we've been governed by them in SC for a LONG time, then why is SC still among the poorest states in the US?
The 10 poorest states are mostly red, and the 10 richest are mostly blue, with a couple exceptions on each.

Why is that?
The poor people in SC are largely Democrats, or people who would vote Democrat, if they showed up to vote. Your theory is that if it was a Democrat state, it wouldn't be so poor? You don't make any sense. The poor people in this state are going to remain poor until they start to care about themselves.
Maybe you should look at the blue states with the super high taxes you support and ask yourself if there is no poverty there. You believe there is no poverty, STDs, bad schools, etc in NYC, NEw Jersey, DC, Detroit, etc, where Democrats run the show?
If blue state politics work, why has Obama 6 years been an economic disaster? Is there where you blame Bush for the finanicial disaster of late 2008 that resulted from the "affordable housing" policies pushed by Democrats like Barney Frank and supported by Obama? In which private lenders were forced to give bad loans to poorer people who couldn't pay them back in the name of getting minorities into house ownership?
Well for one thing the unemployment rate is down about 5% from 6 years ago.... its at 5.5% right now with 2,046,002 employed based off March numbers that's up over 6k from February alone

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Do you even realize how much the workforce has shrunk since the Bush years? There are a record 46 million Americans living in poverty now and you want to tout OBamanomics on here?
Why isn't Obama polling in the 60% if he's turn the economoy around? He's well below 40%, 37 percent or so.

The state is not the nation and that 2,046,002 is an all time high for employment in the state
