Dole Barely Leads in Re-Election Bid
A new SurveyUSA poll in North Carolina shows Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) narrowly edging Kay Hagan (D), 50% to 46%.
Key findings: Among white voters, Dole leads by 24; among blacks, Hagan leads by 66. Blacks make-up 20% of the electorate in SurveyUSA’s turnout model today. If blacks vote in larger numbers, the contest is closer. Among men, Dole leads by 13; among women, Hagan leads by 3. Among voters age 18 to 49, Dole leads by 13; among voters 50+, Hagan leads by 5.
