Kay Hagan (D): 46 (49)
Elizabeth Dole (R-inc): 44 (40)
Christopher Cole (L): 5 (5)
(MoE: ±2.8%)

Dole has managed to chip away a few soft Democrats from Hagan's flank (going from 12% last week to 16% this week among Democrats), but Tom Jensen finds some silver lining in the results:

The good news for Hagan? Voters who are undecided for Senate overwhelmingly support Barack Obama for President, 50-27. She just needs to make sure they vote the rest of their ballot when they come out to vote Democratic for the top office, and she'll probably win.

In the presidential race, Obama holds a 49-46 lead in the state.
