Kay Hagan, long viewed as perhaps the Senate’s most endangered Democrat, is still hanging in there in the closing days of North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely North Carolina Voters shows Hagan with 47% of the vote to Republican challenger Thom Tillis’ 46%. Three percent (3%) like another candidate in the race, and another three percent (3%) are still undecided.

Neither candidate is well-liked and this race is a Republican recruiting failure, even if Thom Tillis wins. I am expecting him to win a very narrow victory.
Need to GOTV, because this one can be stolen easily in NC.
This was a fail from the start. Tillis is a lousy candidate in an election that should have been won running away.
Weather will not be a factor in depressing the turnout. This election comes down to get out the vote efforts, and I hope NC Freepers will make an effort to get decent Americans to the polls. Whether we give rides to our conservative friends, our conservative neighbors, or conservative members of our church, or just man a GOP call station and identify conservative voters who need rides and then bring them to the polls, we need in NC and nationwide to get good people to the polls. The more real voters we can bring in, the fewer ballots will be left for fictional, dead, and illegal democrat voters to steal.
The GOPe must be proud.
Blame Karl Rove and friends if this seat is lost.
Without Helms, NC is lacking.
The random Paulbot Dr. Greg Brannon that everyone loved around here would be doing a LOT worse than Tillis if that’s what you mean.
I would have to agree with Clintonfatigued that this race was a recruitment failure. Tillis obviously hasn’t been gangbusters out on the campaign trail but I think he’ll be a terrific Senator if the liartarian candidate doesn’t allow Hagan to win a plurality victory. He is not a “RINO”.
I haven’t followed the NC race at all. Do you know what the issue has been with Tillis? Is he just dull, or are there deeper issues (i.e. squishy on conservative issues, etc. ?
I think Tillis will pull out a narrow win. The percentage of Democrats voting in early voting is +0.2% ahead of where they were in 2012 when Obama lost by 100,000 votes. Looking at the raw numbers, the Democrats are over-performing by about 40,000 as compared to 2010. Republican Burr won his statewide election for the Senate by 310,000 in 2010.
The fact that the Democrats are over-performing from 2012 is a bit surprising no? Given that was an already banner year.

Sorry, but when you push someone that supports Amnesty, you’re asking to lose.
Circular bedwetting.
Shhh, you aren’t allowed to say that.

Brannon would have this race sewn up.
The percentage of Democrats voting in early voting has been falling the last couple of days. There are two days of early voting data to be added, so I suspect they will be slightly below the 2012 percentage when early voting is complete.
Rasmussen says Hagan is winning 50% to 44% among those that have already voted. As of now, the Democrats make up 47.8% of the early voting so she running a couple of point ahead of the percentage of Democrats. In 2012, Democrats cast 44.2% of the ballots for the election (not just early voting).
I blame the turd I supported Greg Brannon
Nope, I shant proclaim any candidate the eeeeeeeevil Karl Rove endorses as “pro-amnesty” with no evidence of such. Maybe the eeeeeevil Rove backed him because he was the only viable candidate in the race.
From his website
“Thom opposes amnesty and he believes Congress should solve our border security crisis now - before it even debates any other changes to our immigration laws.”
