Dole v Miller?
So there's been news of late that U.S. Rep. Brad Miller might kind of, sort of, maybe be thinking about running against Elizabeth Dole.
So I guess the boys over at PPP decided to poll what that might look like:
According to a Public Policy Polling survey released today, if Congressman Brad Miller were to challenge Senator Elizabeth Dole in a 2008 race for the U.S. Senate he could be competitive. The survey of likely general election voters in North Carolina reveals that 44% of voters would choose Dole today and 33% would choose Miller, while 22% are undecided.
Of course, one wonders whether Miller will actually take the plunge. He’s begun acquiring seniority and status in the House, is in a district that he will seemingly always poll well in, and a Senate campaign would by no means be a certain proposition. While there is no sure thing in politics, do you trade in the low hanging fruit for a far from certain prize?
