Rasmussen (9/17, likely voters, 7/17 in parens):

Kay Hagan (D): 51 (43)
Elizabeth Dole (R-inc): 45 (54)
(MoE: ±4.5%)
Hagan and the DSCC are cutting through Dole's numbers like a hot knife through butter. Dole's favorables have plunged from 61-34 in July to 50-44 this month.

These numbers are roughly in line with a recent PPP poll which showed Hagan leading by five points. Great news, all around.

Bonus finding: Rasmussen also finds that McCain leads Obama by 50-47 in the state. Hoo-ah!

"Bonus finding: Rasmussen also finds that McCain leads Obama by 50-47 in the state. Hoo-ah!" This is a good thing?

5. for NC? Yes, this is a good thing.

State has not gone blue since Carter. Obama could be the one to make it happen again. The palpable lack of enthusiasm for McCain and ole' 93 or 94 is very good news.

10. The "92 or 93" ad was defining for sure.

Brilliant ad, that one.

11. I have high hopes for North Carolina.

I've got a friend down there who would be just so, so happy for it to go Obama.

12. Whoa. Almost a exact reversal.
