NC-8's Latest Poll

MANIFESTO

McClatchy is reporting that

North Carolina Congressman Robin Hayes, reeling from recent remarks about "Liberals hating real Americans," has lost his lead in North Carolina's 8th Congressional District race.

Hayes trails Democrat Larry Kissell 51-46 in a poll released Tuesday by Raleigh's Public Policy Polling. In its last NC-8 poll in August, PPP had the incumbent Hayes leading by five points.

Now, it's still a week to election day, but this is certainly encouraging. For what seems like an eternity, I've wanted this election to be over and done with if only because the campaigns were so excruciating. Now, I'd like to get it done so that the Dems can use the momentum they've got as soon as possible.

Here's to keeping it going.
