They last did a poll at the end of May, but importantly did not poll Fred Thompson...

Lot of other North Carolina issue-centric polling, plus a horse-race number b/w Elizabeth Dole and Brad Miller that I'll post in the Congressional forum.

His only chance to win a southern state is FL and that is still possible but the Carolinas are mainstream conservative states.
