John Spratt Poll
Public Policy Polling ^ | 1/27/2010 | Tom Jensen

Posted on 1/27/2010, 6:55:59 PM by Palmetto Patriot

John Spratt is facing his toughest reelection in years this fall, but he's in better shape than some of his Democratic colleagues in conservative leaning Congressional districts. Here's the bad news and the good news for Spratt from our new poll of SC-5:

The Bad News:

-The Democratic brand in Spratt's district is pretty poor right now. 55% of voters disapprove of Congressional Democrats to just 37% who think they're doing a good job. 48% of them think Congressional Democrats are too liberal. Only 33% support the Democratic health care plan with 51% opposed. And the President's approval rating is in negative territory at 46/49.

-Spratt's approval rating is in slightly negative territory with 41% of his constituents expressing support for the job he's doing and 42% unhappy. Predictably Democrats like him and Republicans don't, but by a 47/38 margin he's also under water with independents.

Spratt leads potential Republican opponents Mick Mulvaney and Albert Spencer by margins of 46-39 and 46-37 respectively.

He's a 14 term incumbent and he's polling less than 50%. Trouble ahead for him.

Thanks for the ping. 14 terms? That's plenty long enough. Way past time for new blood.
