Cal Cunningham nose dives in latest poll

Poking holes in Cal Cunningham's fake electability argument is a new poll from Rasmussen this morning. His numbers have dropped dramatically, presumably because voters are learning more about the real Cal Cunningham.

The numbers:

Richard Burr 51%
Cal Cunningham 29%

That's twenty-two points overall and a five point drop in one month.

The leader in the Democratic primary, Elaine Marshall, sports much stronger numbers polling at 36% with much more room to grow. Ken Lewis wasn't included in the poll, but he's polled better as well in the past.

But that doesn't stop Cal Cunningham from outright lying to the voters:

"We've got a primary in 69 short days, but I'm telling you folks, I'm the Democrat who's prepared to take on Richard Burr," he said.

Sigh. Are you surprised yet?
