Republican challenger Thom Tillis has pushed slightly further ahead of Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely North Carolina Voters shows Tillis earning 45% support to Hagan’s 40%. Six percent (6%) prefer another candidate in the race, and nine percent (9%) are undecided.

Great news from Rasmussen, though it’s being criticized for not including the Libertarian candidate in its showing. I’m guessing that ‘Rats plan for Hagan to slip through with a plurality, like Jon Tester did in Montana. It could happen, one supposes, but I have yet to see Hagan top 45% in any poll.

[SoCalConservative]

Yeah, the Tillis ads I’ve seen are hanging obammycare around Hagan’s neck like a noose. She’s further behind than this poll suggests, IMO.

Folks in North Carolina.......don’t believe a word from any poll....just simply get out, enmasse and vote on election day, come November 4, 2014, against every single Democrat on the ballot!!! Obama and his Democrat vermin are naught but low life, traitors and would be destroyers of our “USA”!!! The entire Democrat Party must be totally destroyed, politically. They are, plain & simple, enemies of the state. Obama, in his heart loves ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood!!! It was Obama, that armed the Muslim Brotherhood he loves so much and, by arming them, he directly armed ISIS!!! Wise up....your future and children’s future is at stake!!! He is with the enemy....not us!!!

about time. earlier polls had her up or even. NC was surprisingly close for romney in 2012 — the votes are there if the dems can turn them out.

scary. it will really suck if the republicans miss control of the senate because they can’t win someplace like MS, NC, or GA.

There’s always the chance that Tillis or Cotton could pull an Akin or Mourdock, but hopefully they are more careful and canny than those losers.

Great news from Rasmussen,

The key factor is the turnout model. Will the RATS be able to turn out their voters like in 2012 or go back to more normal patterns?

If it’s like 2012 then it does not look good particularly with the libtard. The RATS have plenty of money and they will run ads both both for Hagan and the libtard to siphon votes from Tillis.

It is hard to see how the RATS will get 110% turnout by the blacks like they did in 2012 but as Haley Barbour showed in Ole Miss give some operatives enough walking around money and they can work miracles.

NC is one of the few states where the libertarian could make a difference. don’t know what it is about that state, but there seems to be an unusually large libertarian voter block. maybe it’s all the “smart kids” in the research triagle.

LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE W/ SEN. KAY HAGAN (Dem-NC) As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"

QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”

Lies repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

=======================================

SEN. KAY HAGAN (D-N.C.): ‘People who have insurance they’re happy with can keep it’ “We need to support the private insurance industry so that people who have insurance they’re happy with can keep it while also providing a backstop option for people without access to affordable coverage.” (National Journal’s Congress Daily, 6/18/09)

======================================

JUST WONDERING---Did Hagan cash-in? Here's how $4.3 billion to Louisianna Senator Mary Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---and the $4.3 Landrieu giveaway was attached to the Obamacare bill.

<><> Where'd the money go?

THE "Louisisana Purchase" PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (Scumocrat-LA) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.

FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

============================================

Hagan needs to explain this to voters : Obamacare is a HUGE voter fraud machine----plugging unsuspecting enrollees into Democrat voter rolls.

Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California

A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.

=============================================

ANOTHER SURPRISE. Obamacare is a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and onward, $2 billion....

Thanks Clintonfatigued.

The weak Republican in this race was the so called “tea party favorite” (aka random paulbot guy who gave pretty speeches about the constitution that everyone liked) Greg Brannon, who Tillis beat in the primary.

If Hagen wins it will be because of the Liartarian, period. She has no shot at 50%.

[John 3_19-21]

Watching the debate tonight Hagen is barking out the DNC lines: War on women, Rich over poor, Blah, blah, blah.....

The only new issue/tactic I heard from her, and I will paraphrase, was that she believes with the threat of ebola the "fact" that Democrats are for more services for the poor and needy unlike Republicans that democrats are particularly positioned to save America from this crisis.
