U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole received broad-based support, according to a poll by her campaign.
Her senatorial campaign released more information from the poll by Voter / Consumer Research of Houston after some Democrats criticized a passing mention of it in a column by Rob Christensen.
The poll of 500 North Carolinians on Sept. 11 and 12 showed Dole's job approval rating at 64 percent, and her disapproval rating at 24 percent.
That was an increase in her approval rating of 3 percent since the campaign's June survey.
"Support for Senator Dole is broad based," wrote pollster Jan R. van Lohuizen. "She receives net positive approval ratings from all voter groups and regions of the state; this includes age, income and other demographic characteristics. Even in today’s polarized environment, Senator Dole gets net positive ratings from the Democrats in our sample."
The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percent.
