Thurmond's age haunts SC voters in Thurmond bid
A Voter News Service poll of 1,196 South Carolina voters as they left polling places shows age concerns around 93 year old Sen. Strom Thurmond but did not stop his re election. Dole gains from independent voters and the religious right while Clinton grows support among women and young voters amid a strong economy. The religious right backed both Thurmond and Dole, contributing to a Republican showing in the state.

Balance of power in South Carolina legislature remains split
In South Carolina, Democrats hold the Senate with 25 seats while Republicans control the House at 69 seats. The year 1994 saw gains for Republicans in the House and Democrats expanding the Senate, with independents losing seats. GOP leaders credit turnout tactics but acknowledge seats to pick up. Thurmond and Dole races influence the electoral landscape as the GOP maintains most constitutional offices.
