On the heels of the R2K poll showing a competitive race in South Carolina's First District, a Survey USA poll has even better news for Democratic challenger Linda Ketner. She currently trails Henry Brown 50-45, and SurveyUSA says minority turnout will decide the race. In SC-01, challenger Rob Miller is hitting Joe Wilson hard on veteran's health care votes.
The survey of 600 likely voters was conducted October 25 and 26. Other key findings: Brown leads 3:2 among whites; Ketner leads 7:1 among blacks.
The poll assumes that 20% of the First Congressional District voters are black. As of October 1, non-whites accounted for almost 22 percent of the district's voters.
More after the jump.

In SC-02, Democratic Rob Miller is closing with a hard-hitting new spot excoriating incumbent Joe Wilson for his votes on veterans' health care.
Like SC-01, strong minority turnout could make what seemed unbelievable a few short months ago a reality. Minorities currently make up 27 percent of the district's voters.
