NC-Gov, NC-Sen: Perdue Stumbles, Hagan Leads

[ccharles000]

Rasmussen (9/30, likely voters, 8/13 in parentheses):

Bev Perdue (D): 46 (51)
Pat McCrory (R): 50 (45)
Michael Munger (L): 2
(MoE: ±4%)
Elon University (9/29-10/2, residents, 9/15-16 in parentheses):


Bev Perdue (D): 33 (35)
Pat McCrory (R): 37 (37)
(MoE: ±4.6%)
Two new polls give more bad news for Bev Perdue, who seems to be slipping in her quest to hold the open North Carolina gubernatorial seat for the Dems. Rasmussen shows a big reversal from mid-August, when Perdue seemed to be at her peak. Elon University also shows Perdue losing a little ground from several weeks ago.

Elon University (9/29-10/2, residents, 9/15-16 in parentheses):


Kay Hagan (D): 37 (35)
Elizabeth Dole (R-inc): 35 (35)
(MoE: ±4.6%)
On the plus side, the same Elon University poll sees Kay Hagan gaining ground in the Senate race. (Bear in mind that the Elon poll is rife with methodological problems: it's a sample only of residents, and respondents are only asked for each race whether they're supporting the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Nevertheless, their margins seem generally in line with numbers we're seeing elsewhere, with the presidential race in NC tied at 39-39.)
