Council of State Races

Auditor:

Beth Wood (D) 42
Leslie Merritt (R) 36

This is the fifth poll in a row that has Wood in the lead, but it's also a good deal closer than it was in late August when we polled this race. Has Merritt been spending some money I'm not aware of?

Secretary of State:

Elaine Marshall (D) 47
Jack Sawyer (R) 35

Nothing to see here.

Agriculture Commissioner:

Steve Troxler (R) 41
Ronnie Ansley (D) 39

Troxler is probably the Republican Council of State member most likely to survive if there really ends up being a Democratic sweep, but this poll shows that things are getting tougher for him as voters move toward Barack Obama and Kay Hagan.

Full results here.
