Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) has a slight edge in one of the most closely-watched Senate elections of this midterm cycle, according to an Elon University poll released Thursday.
In the survey, Hagan leads GOP challenger Thom Tillis 44.7 percent to 40.7 percent. Poll aggregators give Hagan a slightly smaller lead, which translates into a 72 percent chance she'll hold her seat, per FiveThirtyEight.
