Burr Slipping But Still Polling Ahead of Democratic Contenders

Public Policy Polling: Burr approval down

Richard Burr's approval numbers this month are the worst they've been since PPP started tracking it with 41% of voters in the state disapproving of him to only 32% who think he's doing a good job. Burr nevertheless continues to lead his Democratic opponents by 6-8 points.

I wasn't impressed with what I've heard of Cal Cunningham so far. Elaine Marshall and Ken Lewis look like more appealing choices. Mystifying that Burr with could be leading with such terrible approval ratings. Well-deserved terrible numbers to boot; there's ample reason to disapprove.
