This
poll came out last week, apparently. It's Mason-Dixon. They go on and on about how Bowles is being hurt by all the ads tying him to Clinton, that he's hurt because of his ties to Kerry, etc.
Is this the poll that the NRSC released? Mason-Dixon is a GOP firm, isn't it?
The only other polls I've seen (aside from the "pro-business" NC Free, which had Bowles 3 points ahead) have had Bowles 9-10 points ahead, with the last one being a week or so ago. Burr said that poll was taken before the Clinton ads started, but I really don't think that the ads would have that much impact.
At any rate, if you're worried, then drop by Bowles' site and see if there's any way you can help with volunteers or whatever else. That's one seat we can't afford to lose. Hopefully he'll start spending some of his own money if he has to.
