U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole maintains a double-digit lead.
In a recent poll by SurveyUSA, the Salisbury Republican received 54 percent of support, while Democratic rival Kay Hagan received 42 percent. Another four percent were undecided.
The pollsters say one in four Democrats crossover to vote for Dole.
The results match other recent polls by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, the conservative Civitas Institute and Rasmussen Reports, which have all showed Dole regaining a comfortable lead since a brief Hagan bump during the May primary.
The poll of 676 likely registered voters was taken July 12 through July 14. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
