The Senate race has tightened.
According to a recent survey by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, Democratic Senate candidate Kay Hagan had 46 percent, Republican Elizabeth Dole had 44 percent and Libertarian Christopher Cole had five percent.
Five percent were undecided.
"The movement here is similar to that seen in the Presidential race. Hagan is holding steady with an 11 point lead among independents, but Dole has made some in roads with Democrats, who now report supporting Hagan by a 75-16 margin, down from 79-12 last week," pollster Tom Jensen writes. "In her first race Dole benefited from a lot of support with conservative Democrats and she'll need to keep a lot of those voters in her camp to win reelection."
The automated poll of 1,196 voters was taken Oct. 11-12. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Re: Hagan 46, Dole 44, Cole 5
RTB,
I've noticed a pattern in how PPP releases their polling and I'm wondering why you don't just ask them for all their poll results at once. On Sept 29th, they released the poll numbers for President and Senate but held the numbers for the governors race a day...McCrory was in the lead. On Oct. 7th, they released the numbers for all three races on the same day...Bev was in the lead. Judging from their past history, I'd say they'll be releasing a poll with McCrory in the lead tomorrow. The question is, why not just ask them for all the poll numbers at once?
