  1. Troubling numbers, but everother (non partisan) poll has showed Dole ahead by a healthy margin. So we will have to wait for more polls to come out before we know if this is a trend, or one of those random odd polls.

  2. Considering many democrats had insanely high turnout in primary which took place just before this poll it would seem that this is just a post-primary bounce.  I cannot imagine this bounce will hold for more than a week or so.

    Though it is odd considering Rasmussen usually has a bit of a pro-republican bias.

  3. But I can’t help but think Hagen may actually be the stronger candidate at this time.  Easley’s stupid move in backing Hillary over Omaba has probably seriously hurt him in the African-American community.

  4. and Kay Hagan would be a HUGE improvement over Liddy Dole (R-KS or R-DC, take your pick). But NC has a very red history in Senate races going back 30 years:

    Year Winner

    2008 ?

    2004 Burr

    2002 Dole

    1998 Edwards (D)

    1996 Helms

    1992 Faircloth

    1990 Helms

    1986 Sanford (D)

    1984 Helms

    1980 East

    1978 Helms

    1974 Morgan (D)

    1972 Helms

    That is 3 wins by the Blue team in 12 races over 32 years – and none during presidential election years since 1968. This is going to be a fight down to the wire in November.

  5. Everyone seems to just type “Hagen” when they are referring to the Democratic Nominee for the Senate in North Carolina. Her name is:

    KAY HAGAN (That’s with two A’s in her last name).

    KAY HAGAN. Everyone practice with me.

    KAY HAGAN!

    KAY HAGAN FOR US SENATE – TAKE OUT LIDDY!

    1. He was one of those Senators who constantly got re-elected with 52% of the (racist) vote.  Thankfully those days seem to be changing as NC
