Republican Nikki Haley, who famously won the harshly contested Republican primary in South Carolina this year, appears to be on her way to the Governor's Mansion. Haley, who would be the second Indian-American governor in American history is leading Democrat Vince Sheheen fairly heavily.

| Haley |
The elections cycle in South Carolina has been vicious this year. Between Governor Mark Sanford's messy public affair and divorce and Jim Demint's Democratic challenger Alvin Greene, it surely has been strange. Haley was hit with multiple accusations of extra-marital affairs, all of which she not only denied but promised to resign if they were proven true. So far, no proof has come out.
So Haley appears to be in a strong position to win. Her lead is outside of the margin of error and her opponent is
under 40%.
Haley (R): 46%
Sheheen (D): 37%
Other/und: 17%
Sheheen's weak position coupled with Haley's popularity is sure to carry her across the finish line. The high number of undecideds are likely because the poll was done through a University poll and not one of the major pollsters. Rasmussen, the most accurate pollster, had Haley up by 17% last month.
