Kay Hagan continues to lead the pack in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, according to the results of the latest survey by Public Policy Polling.
PPP surveyed 1,100 likely Democratic primary voters on March 29-30. It found that Hagan, a state senator from Greensboro, was the choice of 19 percent of those surveyed. Jim Neal, a Chapel Hill linvestment banker, was the favorite of 11 percent.
The margin of error was plus or minus 3.0 percentage points.
Marcus Williams, a lawyer from Lumberton, was the choice of 6 percent. Duskin Lassiter, a truck driver from High Point, was the favorite of 4 percent, and Howard Staley, a podiatrist from Moncure, was the choice of 2 percent.
But the majority of those surveyed - 58 percent - remained undecided about which candidate they preferred to take on Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

Re: Hagan 19, Neal 11, Undecided 58
I'm a bit suspicious of PPP's polling accuracy, since in another recent poll, they claim that there has been a 28-point swing in the Pennsylvania Democratic Presidential primary numbers in less than a week, numbers which do not at all correspond to those put out by other polling firms.
