It’s not a good sign that Sen. Richard Burr (R, N.C.) leads by just one point in a newly released survey and polls in the mid-30s (35-34) against a hypothetical opponent. But it’s not as though he has high negatives. It’s just that no one in the state seems to have an opinion of him:
Very Favorable – 14%
Somewhat Favorable – 19.2%
TOTAL FAVORABLE – 33.2%
Somewhat Unfavorable – 8.7%
Very Unfavorable – 8.7%
TOTAL UNFAVORABLE – 17.3%
NO OPINION – 38.7%
NEVER HEARD OF – 10.8%
