Guess who just took the lead in North Carolina?

Elaine Marshall..........37%
Richard Burr..............35%

...this was conducted by Lake Research, one of the best in the business. From their report:

The horserace is ominous for Burr. A month after her impressive win in the Democratic runoff, Marshall holds a slight lead with 37% compared to 35% for Burr. Libertarian candidate Mike Beitler takes 5% support and 23% of voters are undecided.

Breaking via email just a few moments ago. I've attached their action alert to members below:

Dear MoveOn member,

The results are in: 70% of MoveOn members voting in North Carolina decided to give MoveOn's endorsement to Elaine Marshall in the Democratic primary for Senate.

On the steps of the state capital, former U.S. Senate candidate Ken Lewis threw his enthusiastic and full support behind Secretary of State Elaine Marshall in the North Carolina Senate race. Ken placed third in the May primary and his endorsement gives Elaine every bit of momentum going toward the June 22nd runoff.

"Elaine's work as Secretary of State and her historic electoral victories make her the strongest candidate in this run-off and in the general election. On the campaign trail she is tough, smart, and one of the hardest working candidates I've ever seen."

-- Ken Lewis

It's been a whirlwind week for Elaine Marshall's campaign for Senate with endorsements and momentum coming from every direction. In the last 72 hours, Elaine was endorsed by two of the state's biggest newspapers, the Charlotte Teamsters, and Pam Spaulding from Pam's House Blend.

This week got even better when a slew of Orange County elected officials announced their support for Elaine Marshall. I've posted a full list below, but this is another sign of Elaine's incredible momentum.
