Spratt and Mulvaney in Statistical Tie

Republicans are touting a new poll that shows GOP challenger Mick Mulvaney in a virtual tie with 14-term Democratic Rep. John Spratt.

Forty-three percent of likely voters said they favor Spratt while 41 percent support Mulvaney, according to a poll conducted for Mulvaney’s campaign by Public Opinion Strategies.

Mulvaney trumpeted the findings as evidence that Fifth District voters are turned off by Spratt’s embrace of the national Democratic agenda.
