Democratic Tracking Poll: Everything Else

Senate:

Kay Hagan 41
Jim Neal 11
Marcus Williams 6
Duskin Lassiter 4
Howard Staley 2

Although he earned a lot of respect from Democratic activists, Jim Neal never really caught on with the masses. Hagan will win a resounding victory tomorrow.

Treasurer:

Janet Cowell 26
David Young 18
Michael Weisel 14

Cowell made a decision to hold back on tv and run a ton the final week of the campaign even while David Young went on the air in mid-April. It looks like that may have been a prudent choice- she has stormed ahead after trailing by three points in our poll last week. A runoff in this race is still a possibility but it doesn't look like Michael Weisel's final performance will end up being strong enough to send the race in that direction.

Superintendent:

June Atkinson 37
Eddie Davis 19

Atkinson will win the nomination to run for another term.

Auditor:

Beth Wood 36
Fred Aikens 22

Wood will almost certainly be the Democratic nominee for Auditor.

Insurance Commissioner:

Wayne Goodwin 27
David Smith 21

Possibly more telling that Goodwin's overall lead is that he is up 43-25 with folks who voted early. That would seem to be an indication that when voters research the candidates and make their decision, they're choosing Goodwin.

Labor Commissioner:

Mary Fant Donnan 16
John Brooks 15
Robin Anderson 15
Ty Richardson 10

This race is headed for a runoff and any of the top three candidates have a decent chance of making it.
