NC-Sen: Hagan Leads by 5 in New Internal Poll (+)

Anzalone Liszt for Kay Hagan (10/5-9, likely voters, 9/21 in parens):

Kay Hagan (D): 44 (43)
Elizabeth Dole (R-inc): 39 (38)
Chris Cole (L): 5
Undecided: 12
(MoE: ±3.6%)
Hagan is weathering a barrage of hits from the GOP lately, but her numbers are holding. And check this out:


The narratives that have taken hold in this race are ominous for Dole. By almost a 2:1 margin, voters say that Dole doesn't spend enough time in North Carolina (50% agree / 27% disagree). And just 46% agree that Dole is effective, while 44% disagree.
A pair of other polls were released in recent days from this race: WSOC-TV gave Hagan a bare 44-43 lead, while Civitas had Hagan ahead by 45-42 -- the first time that Hagan has ever posted a lead from that pollster.

1. I am soooo going to enjoy voting for Hagan and seeing Dole sent packing.

(As if Dole ever lived here or came here anyway.)

Hagan will be a GREAT Dem. senator I truly believe!

8. No - she is from Kansas.

And "moved in" with her mother just in time to be able to run for office.

She hadn't been here in 40 years.

9. She has been as useless as a Senator

as she was as head of the Red Cross. It's a shame when you drive up Jake Alexander Blvd you see the
"Elizabeth Hanford Dole" building sitting there knowing how bad a job she did when she ran the RC. I guess they'll name buildings after anyone...
