After Rep. Bob Etheridge (D) was caught on video assaulting a couple of college students for asking him some questions on the street, he now appears to be vulnerable for reelection.
A new poll from the Civitas Institute shows him trailing his virtually unknown challenger, Renee Ellmers (R), 39% to 38%.
As a result of this video going viral, Ellmers has also been added to "Contender" status in the NRCC's "Young Guns " recruitment program.
Now I'm taking this poll with a grain of salt, as Civitas is a known GOP pollster. I'm keeping my rating of this race as "Safe Democrat" for now, but I'll keep an eye on future developments and polls in this race, and a rating change is likely.
