NC11: GOP’s Taylor Trailer Dem Challenger

Interesting poll from the ancestral congressional district of our branch of the Ponder family, NC11, which includes Hendersonville and all points west:

Public Policy Polling (PDF). 7/10. Likely voters. MoE 3.7% (May results)

Without leaners

Taylor (R) 43 (42)
Shuler (D) 47 (46)

With leaners

Taylor (R) 45
Shuler (D) 51

After the recent fundraising numbers for the quarter, the candidates’ respective Cash on Hand numbers will reportedly look like this:

Taylor $100K
Shuler $550K

Looks incredible, until you remember that Charles Taylor is a gazillionaire and will be able to write himself as a large a check as necessary to trash the f’ out of Shuler.

Still, this race is living up to its top billing as one of the Republicans’ most endangered seats.
