Renee Elmers Takes Lead Over Thug "Who Are You?" Dem Bob Etheridge
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, October 28, 2010, 11:50 AM
Republican Renee Elmers is leading by 5 percentage points against incumbant thug Rep. Bob “Who are you?” Etheridge in North Carolina’s Second District.
Do you remember this thug?
Bob is your typical democrat.
Civitas Institute reported:
Democratic incumbent Congressman Bob Etheridge’s electoral future appears to be in jeopardy as he trails Republican challenger Renee Ellmers by 5 percentage points with less than one week until the election.
According to the poll of 400 registered voters in North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District, Ellmers leads Etheridge 46 percent to 41 percent. Libertarian candidate Tom Rose garners 6 percent of the vote while 7 percent of voters are undecided.
Among voters who say they are definitely voting this year, Ellmers’ lead grows to 49 percent to 40 percent.
“Bob Etheridge is in the political fight of his life,” said Civitas Institute Senior Legislative Analyst Chris Hayes. “The Republican tide sweeping across the nation appears to be catching Bob Etheridge in its wake.”
Ellmers is able to build a lead due to strength among unaffiliated voters who are supporting her by a 52-19 margin. Etheridge is also losing 20 percent of his Democratic base vote to Ellmers.
Support for Etheridge tracks nearly in line with voter support for President Barack Obama in the district. An identical 41 percent of voters both approve of the job Obama is doing as President and say they are voting for Etheridge. Ninety-seven percent of voters who say they disapprove of the job Obama is doing are voting for Ellmers.
“Voter dissatisfaction with President Obama and Congress is more of a factor in this race than the personality of either of the candidates. It may not matter what Bob Etheridge does or says, voters are taking out their frustrations with Washington on him,” added Hayes.

While the people seem to making their voices heard, the Socialist will make the appropriate final count adjustment as needed.

I hope Ellmers can pull it out. Etheridge has really be hitting her hard in ads the last 2-3 weeks. Ellmers finally has a new ad out herself, which looks like a professional ad, her first few were pretty amateur looking. She should be hitting him on jobs and Obamacare.

Say good night, Bobby.

to speak quite frankly, i think the “negative” finger pointing at the other guy/gals ads are growing tiresome to most.. i think more & more people are not only thirsting for, but paying more & more attention to positive “what i’ve done &/or will do for you” ads than those dinosaur flix so to speak..

Now this is some good news, because this is a poll with a pretty good degree of confidence.
The internals clearly indicate that those most energized to vote are voting for Ellmers, and that independents – who very, very strongly disapprove of Obama – are breaking overwhelmingly for Ellmers. And although I only glanced briefly at the relevant crosstab, it looks like early voters also favor Ellmers.
Might be just about time to say goodnight to Mr. Who Are You?!

The flotsam from this tsunami will include two of the most vile people I have seen polluting our Congress: this evil man and Grayson.
No!vember is not a drill. This is for our national revival.

Veryconcerned commented:
YES!!! The drunk thug Etheridge needs to go! He and Alan Grayson are on my dirty dozen list of thugs who no longer need to be in a position of power and plague the American people. $25, $10 or even $5 to their opponents helps out a lot. It’s not over until all is counted and WE (conservatives) have to defeat the opponent AND the FRAUD the democrats haul in. It’s in our better interests to crush them so there is an acorn/ seiu/ dead voters/ illegal voting/ not counting overseas ballots HEDGE

Not to worry,bobby.There will be no mistaking who we are and what our intentions are for the likes of debris such as you come Nov. 2.

It is good news. The another poll from Charlie Cook said Bob Etheridge is still leading. He has more campaign money than Renee. It is going to be a tight race. Hope she does win.
