Rasmussen (9/17, likely voters, 7/17 in parens):
Kay Hagan (D): 51 (43)
Elizabeth Dole (R-inc): 45 (54)
(MoE: ±4.5%)
Hagan and the DSCC are cutting through Dole’s numbers like a hot knife through butter. Dole’s favorables have plunged from 61-34 in July to 50-44 this month.
These numbers are roughly in line with a recent PPP poll which showed Hagan leading by five points. Great news, all around.
Bonus finding: Rasmussen also finds that McCain leads Obama by 50-47 in the state. Hoo-ah!
(H/T: LanceS)
rassy says that mccain has a “modest lead.” since when is 3 points modest? that’s within the moe. that’s a slim, statistically insignificant lead at best.,
This is fantastic news. I’d love to see Dole go down hard and make some inroads to the South while we’re at it.
I just filled out my absentee ballot. Obama and Hagan are 1 vote closer!
