NC-POS (R)/Tillis internal: Tie

[Flake]

I mean, the sample looks pretty decent, but what exactly is the point of releasing an internal showing you tied when other polling shows you ahead?  Unless:

1.) The race really is tied (more likely)

2.) They think PPP is going to show a decent Hagan lead in their NC-Sen. poll release this week (less likely)

Maybe they want to encourage their voters to turn out? It always seems in the interest of every candidate to claim that they are in a close race (and therefore your vote/money/activism/whatever could make the difference).

Yup, exactly.

"Dear Supporter,

Today I'd like to share with you the results of this EXCLUSIVE internal poll that we are sharing ONLY with our supporters who were loyal enough to give us their email addresses. Beloved Tea Party hero Thom Tillis has surged into a tie with entrenched, America-hating incumbent Hagan. But if you don't donate $20 RIGHT NOW, she and Obama will be able to outspend us and bus literally millions of blacks and immigrants to the poll. Donate NOW or the Democrats will STEAL the election which is SO CLOSE."

OMG. Such a racist, awful message. Who are these people?

America-hating? Really?

It's a joke.
