NC-Sen: More Signs That Dole Is In Trouble

by Todd Beeton, Wed Dec 19, 2007 at 09:03:03 AM EST

Kos has the results of the baseline poll he commissioned of the North Carolina senate race. Good to see the results echo Public Policy Polling's October results and even show the two Democratic challengers, Jim Neal and Kay Hagan, with slightly higher support even as Dole remains stuck below 50%.

Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 12/16-18. Likely voters. MoE 4% (No trend lines)

If 2008 election for U.S. Senate were held today, for whom would you vote for if the choices were between Kay Hagan, the Democrat, and Elizabeth Dole, the Republican?

Dole (R) 46
Hagan (D) 39

If 2008 election for U.S. Senate were held today, for whom would you vote for if the choices were between Jim Neal, the Democrat, and Elizabeth Dole, the Republican?

Dole (R) 47
Neal (D) 37

I look forward to seeing how this plays out next year. Looks like we have a race on our hands.

We have to get Dole out in public

Make her get out on the stump, appear live in debates.  We can't let her campaign from Washington and via tv.  She looks old and feeble in person.  On tv they make her look lucid and 15 years younger.

You know, I was slightly skeptical

when I heard Edwards say on, I believe it was ABC, that "well if I'm the nominee, first of all, we'll have a larger majority in the House and 60 votes in the Senate", i was quite skeptical. Then I thought about it a bit and, if Edwards is the nominee, then kiss Liddy Dole goodbye, as he's going to carry the state.

Mitch McConnell would not be safe either. Perhaps Coleman would go down easier?

Landrieu was beating Kennedy by 4%.  That means NC is almost as competitive a race as LA.  The same could be said of MS were Musgrove to take the plunge.

Difference between LA and NC. is

Landrieu-LA is a much stronger campaigner than Dole-NC. Landrieu-LA is strong at Raising money and has a strong personal appeal- ie Lincoln-AR,Clinton-NY. In LA- Landrieu will be running ads accusing Kennedy- a former Democrat of being a turncoat-flip flopper- During Kennedy's 2004 US Senate race- he was endorsed by Bill Jefferson. John Kennedy will be the Mark Kennedy of 2008.
