On July 6, Public Policy Polling released a poll of the U.S. Senate race in North Carolina.  It shows Republican Richard Burr, the incumbent, at 38%; Elaine Marshall, Democrat, 33%, Michael Beitler, Libertarian, 10%; undecided 20%.  See the detailed results here.

The poll shows that Beitler gains support disproportionately from voters age 18-29 (18%), and secondarily from voters age 30-45 (12%).  Voters over age 45 only give him 7% support.  The poll also shows that Beitler draws 14% support from African-Americans.  By party, 7% of Democrats support him; 4% of Republicans support him; and 26% of independent voters support him.  Thanks to Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire for the link.  Beitler was in a 3-candidate debate recently.
