It's interesting that 51% of Democrats strongly support expanding the Education Scholarship Trust Fund. This could offer a path for bipartisan support of school choice expansion next session.

Nearly 2/3rds of South Carolina support eliminating the income tax. Only 20% oppose elimination.

MEDIA RELEASE: The South Carolina Policy Council has released its 2026 Fall Poll Access the full poll here: scpolicycouncil.org/the_sout…

One of the more interesting results on property tax exemptions for seniors from @scpolicycouncil’s latest poll. The poll asked if property tax exemptions should favor seniors, young people, or treat all taxpayers the same. Young people (ages 18-34) favored an equal policy at 48%, with only 21% saying young people should receive an exemption and 6% favoring senior exemptions. Seniors (ages 65+) favored senior exemptions at 48%, with 30% favoring equal treatment and just 2% favoring exemptions for young people. All age groups except 65+ had a majority supporting an equal policy. There’s a lesson in there. CC: @GreenPlusAnE @esaagar

Seeing all the Tennessee fans just completely distraught on here has been the highlight of my weekend

Dylan Stewart is worth every dollar that NIL collective is paying him

Not sure how Conor Stallions caused Tennessee to blow that 4th down opportunity and then give up the fumble forcing sack to Dylan Stewart, but I’m sure some Vol fans will figure it out.

GAMECOCKS WIN

Fought til the end 💪
