My NRO story on Richard Burr, the GOP Senate candidate in North Carolina, cited a recent poll showing him behind Democrat Erskine Bowles, 50 percent to 40 percent. Most of the surveys on this race over the last few months have had Bowles ahead by 8 to 10 points. Until now. Today’s Winston-Salem Journal reports on a new survey of likely voters that shows a narrow gap: Bowles 44 percent, Burr 41 percent. What’s more, the poll was taken before the Burr campaing began running its ads on Bowles and taxes.
