A Dole poll from the vault


On second thought, national Democrats do have a Dole poll.

After speaking with Dome this afternoon, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee found an old press release from February showing Sen. Elizabeth Dole's approval rating at 49 percent.

That should answer some Democratic and Republican griping about Dole's polls, but it probably won't. 

The DSCC poll showed that 11 percent of North Carolinians said Dole was doing an "excellent job," 38 percent said "a good job," 33 percent said "only a fair job," and 13 percent said a "poor job." Five percent were not sure.

It also showed 35 percent planned to vote for Dole again, 26 percent would "consider someone else," 23 percent said they would vote against her, and nine percent said it depends. Seven percent were not sure. 

The survey of 606 likely voters on Feb. 7 and 8, 2007, was done by Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group.

No margin of error was included in the memo.
