Suggestions for Hypothetical Burr Polling?

So it's time for our big monthly North Carolina poll and once again we're open to suggestions about who to poll against Richard Burr. Hopefully Roy Cooper will run but until he gets into it we're going to keep testing folks.

Here's how they've stacked up so far:

Candidate

Margin Relative to Burr

Roy Cooper

+4

Generic Democrat

-4

Mike McIntyre

-5

Elaine Marshall

-8

Heath Shuler

-11

Jim Neal

-14

Cal Cunningham

-19

Other ideas for questions we should put on the poll are welcome too. We're going to break down all of our results this time by whether respondents are teachers/public employees to get a better idea of how much Bev Perdue was hurt (or not) with some of her base last week.

    You haven't done Richard Moore yet? I thought you'd done Moore...?

    Daily Kos polled Richard Moore in January, but we haven't (and won't since he's pretty firmly stated he's not running.)

    With all the party switching going on in the Senate these days, I'd like to know if folks in NC would be more likely, less likely or indifferent to re-electing Richard Burr if he switched party affiliation to Democrat and vowed to support our President?

    So, in a sense, I'd love to see Burr (R) polled against Burr (D).

    That's wicked good print fodder.
