- A Trafalgar Group poll released October 19 shows Darline Graham leading Democrat Annie Andrews 48.6% to 45.6% — a margin that sits precisely at the survey's approximately 3-point threshold of error.
- Andrews has outraised Graham roughly 7-to-1 with approximately $19.7 million in total campaign funds; the Senate Leadership Fund answered with a $5 million Republican investment to close that gap.
- Whoever wins on November 3 will become the first woman South Carolina voters have ever chosen to serve in the U.S. Senate — a landmark outcome guaranteed regardless of party.
