Hagan 44, Dole 41, Cole 4


Kay Hagan has a narrow lead in a recent poll.

According to a recent survey by the conservative Civitas Institute, the Democratic Senate candidate had 44 percent of support, Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole had 41 percent and Libertarian Christopher Cole had four percent.

Twelve percent were undecided.

"Our polling shows Kay Hagan has sustained the slim lead we first showed in our polling two weeks ago of just three points over Elizabeth Dole," said executive director Francis De Luca. "The volume and tone of attack ads in this race continues to increase and our poll shows more voters shifting to undecided."

The survey of 600 registered voters was conducted Oct. 18-20 by Tel Opinion Research of Alexandria, Va. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
