Hagan Retains Slight Lead Over GOP Field Despite Obamacare Attacks
Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) holds a very slight lead over all her possible challengers in the Republican primary, according to a new poll.
The poll, from American Insights, however founded a high number of undecided voters. Against House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-NC), Hagan leads 38 percent to 35 percent. In a matchup with Rev. Mark Harris, Hagan leads 39 percent to 35 percent and against tea partier Greg Brannon Hagan gets 38 percent while Brannon gets just 36 percent.
This poll's findings might come as good news to Hagan after a significant amount of spending attacking Hagan on Obamacare and other issues, and she's actually holding a better lead than in other surveys of the North Carolina Senate race.
Still, the poll wasn't all good news for Hagan. The poll also found that 37 percent of North Carolinians approve of the job Hagan is doing while 20 percent said they are undecided. A total of 39 percent said they disapprove of the job Hagan is doing.

Kay Hagan slams the Koch brothers
<...>
A key part of the barrage against Hagan and other Democratic senators that Republicans perceive as vulnerable in 2014 is tying them to Obamacare, something Hagan defended.
The people in North Carolina have the fifth-highest signup on the exchanges, after Florida, New York, California and Texas, its North Carolina, so theyre very interested in this, Hagan said. We want to show that the Affordable Care Act is something whose time has come. Its going to really change how the cost of health care will not have these huge increases that weve been seeing every year.
