According to Rasmussen, the January 2011 retirement of North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy remains on schedule. In fact, Pomeroy’s actually gained some ground, but he still trails 49 percent to 45 percent. It appears he can thank the health care bill:

Opposition to the health care plan in North Dakota remains high and, as in many states, helps the Republican. Thirty-five percent (35%) of North Dakota voters think the bill is good for the country, but 53% say it will be bad.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) favor repeal of the measure, while 36% oppose repeal. These figures include 46% in the state who strongly favor repeal versus 28% who strongly oppose it.
