Leading Off: ' NC-Gov, MI-Sen: The North Carolina governor's race and the Michigan Senate race have nothing in common, except for the fact that NBC/Marist just published a new trio of polls on Thursday'their second set of swing state polls this week. (They also surveyed New Hampshire but apparently did not test the gubernatorial contest. Zuh?) In any event, the NC-Gov numbers are the best Team Blue has ever seen, with Republican Pat McCrory leading Democrat Walter Dalton by just a 43-41 margin. There are no trendlines, but those results are quite the contrast to a Rasmussen poll (okay, "poll") from a day earlier which had McCrory up 49-35.
As for Michigan, Marist finds a tightening since their last poll, which was all the way back in February, when Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow led Republican Pete Hoekstra 53-32. That survey, though, was taken just after the Super Bowl, when Hoekstra ran his now utterly infamous "Debbi Spend-it-now" ad and had descended to new depths of unpopularity. Marist's new poll still finds Stabenow in good shape, though, up 49-37.
