In new PPP poll Kay Hagan is not in good shape against potential repub challengers

[cali]

Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan trails her potential Republican challengers as she works to retain her seat in November, according to a new poll.

The North Carolina Democrat trailed each of the Republicans vying to challenge her in the general election by 1 or 2 points, according to a poll out Tuesday from left-leaning Public Policy Polling.

Hagan is a top target of Republicans looking to take over control of the Senate in 2014. Tuesday’s poll is consistent with the past few months of polling, which have shown a sizable lead Hagan enjoyed in September evaporate as she runs near even with the Republicans in the field.

1. GOP is running endless Kay and the ACA will kill granny ads.

Her opponents should be up by 10 points by now.

2. Concerned, but not worried yet.

The Republicans are running constant attack ads and "Obamacare will kill us all" ads. Team Hagan is running nothing yet.

The poll is concerning, but not doom.

(Yet.)

3. Why is it that when our side is down 1or 2 points

It's a DISASTER!!!! but when our side is ahead by 1 or 2 points its considered a tie.When I first saw the headlines I thought Hagan was down by 10 points

4. no one said it's a disaster. It is, no duh, not a good thing and not a good sign

she's the incumbent. furthermore, it looks like just about any republican could beat her.

anyone who doesn't recognize that NC has moved considerably to the right over the past few years, hasn't been paying attention.

9. I love the smell of concern in the morning...or at night for that matter....

Remember this little nugget from Wolfie?

Obama 50%, Romney 46%.

That's a tie!

8. One poll put Lundergan Grimes ahead of Turtle by 2,

it was a tie. Another poll put turtle up by 1, he lead, according to the pundit class.

5. I like it when the GOP dumps a lot of $$$ on a losing cause.

These clowns might be at least partially good for the economy after all.

6. The people of North Carolina need to look at what the GOP has done to

their state and think twice.

7. The secret to winning the 2014 election is

Get as many states to put legal Marijuana on the 2014 ballot. Waiting till 2016 isn't going to do the Dems any good with the Presidential election of 2016. We need the masses to get to know more about Obamacare and Medicaid, and the possibilities of what a Dem House could do for the people for 2 years majority. If the people see granny is still alive by the summer, and getting more benefits, maybe they will see the ones trying to kill granny.

10. Has it occurred to you that while most people may support marijuana legalization...

...the average voter may not care ENOUGH to make it a relevant issue?

11. This is sooo very concerning. nt
