The even better news is, the undecided vote usually breaks for the challenger.

An incumbent, this late in the game at 45 percent.....not good news for the DemocRATS.

Shuler, who is currently serving his second Congressional term, has a -3 favorable rating (29 percent favorable-32 percent unfavorable) even though he holds a significant name advantage over his opponent. Thirty-six percent of voters said they are neutral on his candidacy.

Conversely, Miller, despite only 32 percent of voters having an opinion of him, has a net +6 favorable rating as 19 percent of voters view him favorably while 13 percent view him unfavorably. Thirty-six percent said their opinion is neutral.

Excellent news, but Jeff Miller is going to need a lot of help to overcome Shuler's money advantage.

Gee, maybe this explains the anti-Miller push-polls...

We've seen this before where the people in a district are so eager to get rid of a Democrat that they don't care who they replace him/her with. Remember a few years back when Cynthia McPigtails was kicked out in a primary? Two weeks before the election the polls showed McP. with a 95% name recognition and Majett (sp?) had a 35%. BUT the challenger who eventually won, was up 53/47. Lesson: When they want you gone it makes no difference how high your name recognition is. Heath is a goner.
