Public Policy Polls released a South Carolina poll on July 15 for president and U.S. Senate. For president: McCain 45%, Obama 39%, Barr 5%, other and undecided 11%.
For U.S. Senate, Republican Lindsey Graham 52%, Democrat Bob Conley 21%, independent Mark McBride 10%, undecided 17%. McBride is not certain to be on the ballot. He turned in his petition, but the signatures haven’t been checked. There are no minor party candidates for U.S. Senate. UPDATE: McBride failed to gather sufficient signatures to be on the ballot. Thanks to Art DiBianca for the link. For more details about these polls, see here.

McBride couldn’t get the 10K sigs, so he’s not running.
Thank you. I’ll update the post.
I thought Cone was on the ballot with the Working Families party.
The WFP wouldn’t be able to run Cone for the same reason that the Greens were unable to run Eugene Platt, as discussed here:

That said, the WFP is unlikely to run anyone against a Democrat.
