PPP's first general election poll for the US Senate race in North Carolina shows the way Donald Trump could make life harder for other Republican candidates down ballot this fall.
The Senate race is tight, with Richard Burr holding just a 5 point lead over Deborah Ross at 40/35, with Libertarian candidate Sean Haugh pulling 7%. To put the current state of the race in perspective Elizabeth Dole led Kay Hagan by 5 points on our first poll after the primary in 2008 too, so Ross is starting her upset bid in a very similar place to where Hagan started hers....
We find that voters are less likely to vote for Burr by a 26 point spread if he supports Trump for President- doing that would make 48% of voters in the state less inclined to vote for the incumbent compared to only 22% who would be more likely to vote for him. That's a good early indicator of the trouble Trump poses for his party....

Thx for the ping.
Burr sucks.
Are you thinking of Nikki? She is SC.
Yes! My bad!
I never miss an opportunity to bash Nikki so thank you for the opportunity.
Burr made life tough on Burr. Vote like a liberal and act like one, then why don’t you change parties and come out of the closet.
He’s a liar too.
