New Presidential and Senate polls out of NC and KY

[WI_DEM]

These are from Survey USA.

North Carolina
Bush: 51%
Kerry 45%

592 likely voters +/- 4.1%

(Note two other recent polls show a slightly closer race in NC--but it is clear that Bush is going to have to spend money and time in NC).

NC Senate:
Bowles: 50%
Burr: 42%
(This is good news--if Democrats are to win back the senate we need to keep many of these open senate seats).

NC Governor:
Easley: 51%
Ballantine:44%

Kentucky President:
Bush: 56%
Kerry: 39%
697 likely voters +/- 3.8%

1. Kentucky looks like a lost cause

That makes this Boone descendant very sad.

2. Why?

Why Bowles and not Kerry? I just don't get these states that vote like this. :shrug:

3. 6 behind in NC aint nothin to be ashamed of

Gore got hammered there.

6. Yes, Gore lost by 12 percent

Even Clinton never won N.C. BTW, that link doesn't have the results yet.

9. the tobacco issue was why

This is very encouraging though, Kerry-Edwards are doing something right.

4. two other polls

out today had NC within the margin of error.

Presidential races are more partisan than senate and congressional races.

5. yikes

those nc senate and governor numbers are too close for my comfort.

jesus! i thought bowles was WAY ahead?!?

[lancdem]

7. I think another poll has Bowles ahead by 12

[MattNC]

10. ehh..

one poll does have him up by 12 (i forget which one). but burr has been running A LOT of ads lately which could account for closing the gap somewhat.

8. My condolences to any DUers in Kentucky

Keep fighting or run for your life, whichever you think is the best strategy! :)

[Raiden]

11. Probably running for dear life...

Kentucky is really full of dumbfucks. I was talkin' to one girl about the Iraq War and she was like "Why would we have attacked them if they didn't have any nuclear weapons, you're like Al Gore, you just want to give all them Muslims a hug!" and bullshit like that. I'm starting to think Kentucky is a lost cause.
