For all of us who watched Kay Hagan come from behind to beat Libby Dole, and for all of us who have seen Richard Burr's approval numbers, we've been waiting for this:

Dole's polling advantage in the early part of 2008 turned out to be inflated due to her opponents' lack of name recognition, and as soon as Kay Hagan became a more familiar face to the state's voters over the course of her primary campaign she pulled within the margin of error against Dole on our first poll after she was the nominee. Our numbers tomorrow find Marshall doing even better than Hagan was at this point in the race, and Cunningham doing similarly.

We'll have the actual numbers here tomorrow.
