Public Policy Polling (10/4-5, likely voters, 9/27-28 in parens):

Kay Hagan (D): 49 (46)
Elizabeth Dole (R-inc): 40 (38)
Christopher Cole (L): 5 (6)
(MoE: ±2.8%)
Wow. PPP's Tom Jensen has more:


In a state like North Carolina with a large Democratic registration advantage, a Republican candidate has to peel off a lot of voters from the other party to win statewide. But Elizabeth Dole is barely winning more of the Democratic vote- 12%- than Kay Hagan is taking of the Republican vote- 9%. Add in a 44-33 lead for Hagan with independents and it's the recipe for a near double digit lead for the Democratic challenger.
Hagan is also making strong in roads in rural North Carolina- where John McCain has a 16 point lead over Barack Obama, Dole has just a five point advantage over Hagan. Our polling, both public and private, has also found that Hagan is playing extremely well with the state's quickly expanding group of suburban voters. She may well be the standard bearer of the profile of candidate who's going to be successful statewide in 21st century North Carolina.

Remarkably, Obama has pulled up to a 50-44 lead over McCain according to the same poll. If Obama wins North Carolina, there is just no chance for Liddy Dole. It's no small wonder that Freedom's Crotch is hitting the panic button and dumping $750K in attack ads against Hagan this week.

10. Who are these "Democrats" voting for Liddy? nt

[susanbanks44]

11. Closet racists that reside in every state.

[FLAprogressive]

12. But why would they not vote for Hagan then??? nt

If they're racist Dems they shouldn't have a problem with Hagan -- she's white.

[susanbanks44]

16. They are called "dixiecrats"

The same Democrats who supported Jesse Helms, it has nothing to do with Hagan being white. Since Obama is at the top of the ticket expect these dixiecrats to go against the party altogether.

13. Please let it be so.

Dole has done nothing for NC but vote for bush 100% of the time.
