NC-Sen: Burr Leads Marshall by Only 1 Point, Cunningham by 5

Public Policy Polling (5/8-10, North Carolina voters, 4/8-11 in parens):

Elaine Marshall (D): 42 (37)
Richard Burr (R-inc): 43 (43)
Undecided: 15 (20)

Cal Cunningham (D): 39 (35)
Richard Burr (R-inc): 44 (43)
Undecided: 17 (22)
(MoE: ±3.9%)

Interesting numbers out of North Carolina, showing both Democrats getting a boost after the first round of their primary battle. Both Marshall and Cunningham are still severely unknown at this point, underscoring just how much of a meekly-funded campaign the first round of this primary was. 66% have no opinion of Cunningham and 56% regard Marshall with a blank expression.

If the winner of this runoff can quickly marshal together some resources, this could turn out to be a race well worth watching.

A Republican Incumbent In danger of being beaten.So still think this Is 1994 part 2?

Both Marshall and Cunningham have gone up.And Marshall Is practly tied with Burr.

who don't know who Elaine Marshall is?

:crazy:

would have no clue who she was.

However, I believe Marshall will win. I know how hard she fights.

But would be happy with either Marshall or Cunningham.

My bet is that, while the general population may not know who they are, the folks who will vote in the runoff will.

As for North Carolina voters not knowing who Elaine Marshall is, I'm a little perplexed. She's been Secretary of State since 1996, and, as such, her name appears on many bits of official paperwork across the state. If not for Cunningham's outside support, she would be the heavy favorite.
