^ I don't think they've done much work in NC, but looks like most of their 2012 polls underestimated Obama in swing states.

Isn't Suffolk the pollster that said they weren't going to bother polling Virginia or Florida in 2012 since they were solid Romney states?

^ Wow, yeah. They said Romney was clearly gonna win FL, VA and NC so no need to poll them.

To add insult to injury, Obama came closer to carrying NC than Romney came to carrying VA. Tongue

To be fair, though, this poll is pretty much where I would peg the race.  Misreading where the most competitive races are isn't necessarily the same thing as getting funky data.  These may be really good numbers right now.

If Haugh voters are asked who they back, Hagan only leads 47-46 though.

Full crosstabs.

Hagan's approval is 41/48 (similar to what PPP found). There's a good chunk of voters who aren't sure of Tillis, but he's not popular, at 24/39 favorables.

Suffolk also came out with a poll during the 2009 New Jersey Gubernatorial election that had Corzine 9 points ahead of Christie a week before the election.

I've seen Tillis with much higher unfavorables in other polls.  Didn't one of them have him at 48 unfavorable?  What's with the discrepancy?

^ PPP had him at 28/48. This poll has more who don't have an opinion of him. The difference isn't that much (-20 vs. -15), especially considering that his name rec will still grow.

Haugh will get less than 2% of the vote he's not Sarvis he's some random pizza guy with no money. Hagan only wins this by nuking Tillis making him unacceptable to voters because she has no brand of her own.
