NC-PPP: Hagan +5%

[LeBron]

Let's keep in mind this was a non-partisan PPP poll and that their company is in the state itself, so this is probably one of the most reliable post-primary polls even if Haugh is oversampled. It also shows that Hagan's numbers have improved because she only led 38-36 with Haugh in the race back in PPP's May poll and she was tied with Tillis 41-41 w/o Haugh.

I really believe Hagan's chances continue to be underestimated. This race is right on the border line of lean Democratic, and the only thing going in Tillis' favor right now is that after July, the General Assembly's short 6-week session is over (barring Gov. McCrory calling a special session) and won't be able to be as hog wild this year as they were last year. Still, it helps having Haugh in this race, no 50% threshold and Tillis proving he's Romney-like gaffe prone which all bodes well for Hagan.
