NC: Rasmussen: Tillis leads by 5

[Miles]

Article.

Tillis (R)- 45%
Hagan (D)- 40%

Typical for Rassy. Their last poll was Tillis +1; since then, the consensus of the other pollsters is that Tillis has lost ground.

Dominating! See what happens when you don't goose the polls with a 3rd party candidate include one of the candidates who will be on the ballot in November?

FIFY

Yep, as usual, pretty blatant attention trolling.

Even Civitas had Haugh at 7%. I know PPP is a Democratic shill outfit, but its not like the 3rd party thing is unique to them.

Plus, a five-point lead is clearly more in the realm of "Excellent News!" than "Dominating!"

[Miles]

Every pollster except PPP in the last month has had Tillis ahead.

Gravis?

And this will help Tillis.

North Carolina Democrats had also rigged the ballot ordering in such a manner that their candidate was always listed first on the ballot.

As part of the excellent election reform law that will no longer be the case.

Why shouldn't the incumbent Senator not be ranked 1st on the ballot everywhere ?

Thats just Krazen rehashing his drivel about the NC Democrats because he wants attention.

You were talking how Haugh's support in the polls will inevitably fade. The ballot order on election day wasn't even relevant or necessary to that point.

The party of the Governor will get the first spot on ballot list, now.

Isn't McCrory incredibly unpopular?

He's rebounding somewhat, but there's no way he's at +10 approval.
