Only in South Carolina did likely voters give McCain the nod — by 12.2 percentage points — over Obama on the economy.

The poll left the candidates’ S.C. supporters flummoxed.

“That anybody would go Republican this next election, considering the economy and so many things, is unbelievable,” said 75-year-old Charlotte Bahneman of Longs, just north of Myrtle Beach.

A former Hillary Clinton supporter, Bahneman said she plans to do what many of her friends are telling her they will do: vote for Obama because he is the better of the two candidates offered.

Robert Martuscello, a 63-year-old Greenville retiree, said McCain is a casualty of the economy’s troubles.

“I really don’t think the economy is the No. 1 issue,” said Martuscello, a McCain supporter.
