In Iowa,\u2064 he ranks third with 9% support, and in \u2064New Hampshire, he holds \u200dthe fourth \u200dposition with 7.5% support.<\/p>\n<h3>Advocating for State Polls<\/h3>\n<p>Scott&#8217;s campaign manager, Jennifer DeCasper,\u200c has written two letters to Republican National Committee Chair Ronna \u2063McDaniel, arguing \u200bthat state polls in the\u200c &#8220;carve-out&#8221; states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina provide a \u200cmore accurate reflection of the candidates&#8217; status.<\/p>\n<p>DeCasper asserts, &#8220;Relying on national polling results for podium placement would not represent \u200dwhere the candidates actually\u2064 stand in relation to \u2064where we are in the process with the voters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She proposes that the &#8220;carve-out&#8221; state polling \u2062should\u2063 carry more weight\u2063 when\u200b considering podium \u2063placement for the September debate. Specifically, she suggests that polling results from Iowa should be the\u200b primary consideration, or alternatively, the RNC could average the candidates&#8217; polling results from all four &#8220;carve-out&#8221; states.<\/p>\n<p>Receptive to Input<\/p>\n<p>RNC spokesperson Emma\u200c Vaughn assures that the\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-scott-campaign-state-polls-not-national-polls-more-accurately-show-facts-on-ground\/\" title=\"Tim Scott Campaign: State Polls Reveal Ground Reality More Accurately\">debate\u2063 committee welcomes input<\/a> from \u2064all \u200bcandidates, partners, and\u200c stakeholders.
