	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Senate race may be tightening.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to a recent &lt;a href=&quot;http://dailykos.com/story/2008/8/1/11502/03541/243/560118&quot;&gt;survey&lt;/a&gt; by Research 2000 for the liberal Web site the Daily Kos, U.S. Sen. &lt;a href=&quot;/dome/profiles/elizabeth_dole&quot;&gt;Elizabeth Dole&lt;/a&gt; had 50 percent support, while Democratic rival &lt;a href=&quot;/profiles/kay_hagan&quot;&gt;Kay Hagan&lt;/a&gt; had 42 percent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eight percent were undecided. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blogger Markos Moulitsas Zûniga writes that Dole is right at the 50 percent mark &amp;quot;considered &amp;#39;safe,&amp;#39;&amp;quot; though he doubts she can &amp;quot;just slack off.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The results are a little closer than other recent &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/dole_49_hagan_40_cole_4&quot;&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt;, which have generally shown Dole with a &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/dole_54_hagan_43&quot;&gt;double-digit lead&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The survey of 600 likely voters was taken July 28-30. It has a margin of error of four percentage points.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
