Poll shows South Carolinians doubt lawmakers and blue laws
A Charlotte Observer poll of 405 South Carolinians found 63 percent with only some confidence in the General Assembly and 60 percent favoring repealing the Sunday blue laws, with 33 percent supporting keeping them. Respondents rated lawmakers mostly as fair or better, but many feel detached from state government. The survey was June 7-15 with a 5 point margin of error.
