Forty-two percent of North Carolinians say they'd rather see someone else besides first-term GOP Sen. Richard Burr win next year's election while 19 percent say he deserves to return to Washington, according to an Elon University poll conducted Oct. 26-29. Thirty-six percent said they were not sure or undecided.

Thirty-seven percent approved of the job Burr was doing compared to 22 percent who disapproved, but there was a large "don't know" contingent (41 percent) considering that Burr is an incumbent.

Forty-percent say they are satisfied with how Burr has represented the state compared to 22 percent who are dissatisfied and 36 percent who don't know.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
