SC-The Feldman Group (D): Tied in 4-way, Trump +2 in Head to Head

[Seriously?]

Let's not start the unskewing crap, because we all know how that ended that time. This is not the first poll to show South Carolina in single digits, even the Republican firm Gravis shows it close. The fact that South Carolina is even this close goes to show that this election is practically over.

To be fair, a public poll commissioned by a party is basically one half step from a campaign internal poll. Lots of observers, including myself, exclude partisan polls. (You're right that nonpartisan polls are showing a close race too.)

Which one the PPP Poll was commissioned by the State Democratic Party

Yes. Seems like the Democrats are trying to create a narrative here. Tied with special sauce gets you on TV on shows like Maddow.

That immediately makes me suspicious. I'll generally discount internal-type public release polls from either side of the aisle.

[Seriously?]

Then this pollster may be worthy of attention. The best polls are often internal polls. 

Yeah, but those are often "leaked" internals. Not internal polls with public press releases.

I'm always leery when a political party tries to claim a lead like this via the press. How many times do we see or hear about that random "internal" that is nowhere near the actual result?
