North Carolina Senate 2008: Public Policy Polling - Dole (R) 46%, Hagan (D) 33%

[Adlai Stevenson]

Hagan does about as expected. Remember that last week our poll found Jim Neal trailing Elizabeth Dole 47% to 32%. Neither starts off with any advantage in polling.

Approval Ratings
President Bush: 41% approve, 53% disapprove
Governor Easley: 51% approve, 32% disapprove
Senator Dole: 45% approve, 36% disapprove
Senator Burr: 30% approve, 34% disapprove OUCH!

What issue is most important to you?
35% War in Iraq
19% Economy and jobs
13% Moral and family values
11% Health care
10% Immigration
5% Education
5% Taxes

im quite familiar with this kay hagan character.

if you democrats believe she is going to lead you all to the promised land...all i can do is lolz.

she is way too liberal to win a race in nc for us senate.  but i guess she is kind of stuck when it comes to advancement opportunities.  im assuming she resides in howard coble's congressional district...so that is definitely not a opportunity.

Seriously, do these guys never stop polling?

[Democratic Hawk]

The real irony about North Carolina is that it's not as though the state is short of good populist-ish Democrats. Still, with Mike Easley not being interested, any credible statewide contender is best holding off until Burr is up for re-election in 2010

The key to Democratic success in much of the South may well be a clear populist economic message rooted in fairness that transcends cultural issues

And chances are, they'll be disappointed they waited.

Well, that depends on the "climate" come November 2010 doesn't it? Then again, winning that seat is one thing, holding it seems quite another. Appears to have been that way since Democrat Sam Ervin retired in 1974

i agree.

i dont think burr is anywhere as unpopular as the polls and democrats suggest.

the truth is, he just isnt well known statewide.  he keeps a very low profile.

That is a cursed seat.

terry sanford would have won reelection in 92 had it not been for his heart surgery. i guess that is part of the 'curse' though.
