The race is rated as a toss-up by The Cook Political Report, with polling having tightened in the run up to the vote.
Recent polling from East Carolina University put Graham up by three points, with 49 percent of 763 likely voters asked October 24-25 saying they intend to back him, compared to 46 percent for Harrison. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percent, meaning Graham's lead fell within this.

I don’t know how anyone could vote for a man who will not stand up and defend his best friend. To let Trump call your deceased friend, John McCain, out of his name and not speak up means you will not protect nor defend the people of this country.
