In #NC02, voters flocking to @Renee4Congress Ellmers -- she's up by 9 pts! #teaparty #tcot

Renee Ellmers came out of nowhere to challenge careerist politician Bob Etheridge in North Carolina 2.



Etheridge was already making inroads based on her involvement with the Tea Party movement, but it was Etheridge's arrogance caught on film that really allowed her campaign to take off. After that, solid debate performances and unwavering support for her principles have pushed her into the lead.



It's now a matter of making sure that everyone who says they want Bob Etheridge out of office gets out to vote on November 2.

Raleigh, N.C. – Democratic incumbent Congressman Bob Etheridge’s electoral future appears to be in jeopardy as he trails Republican challenger Renee Ellmers by 5 percentage points with less than one week until the election.

According to the poll of 400 registered voters in North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District, Ellmers leads Etheridge 46 percent to 41 percent.  Libertarian candidate Tom Rose garners 6 percent of the vote while 7 percent of voters are undecided.

Among voters who say they are definitely voting this year, Ellmers’ lead grows to 49 percent to 40 percent.

Support for Etheridge tracks nearly in line with voter support for President Barack Obama in the district.  An identical 41 percent of voters both approve of the job Obama is doing as President and say they are voting for Etheridge.  Ninety-seven percent of voters who say they disapprove of the job Obama is doing are voting for Ellmers.
