NC POLL: Obama 50 (+1), McCrypt 47.

Election 2008: North Carolina Presidential Election
North Carolina: Obama Leads McCain For Second Straight Week
Thursday, October 02, 2008

For the second straight weekly poll, Barack Obama holds a slight advantage over John McCain in the traditionally Republican state of North Carolina.

It’s Obama 50%, McCain 47% in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Tar Heel State voters. A week ago, Obama held a two point advantage. This change comes as Obama has opened a fairly stable lead nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

In North Carolina, Obama now leads by twelve among women while McCain leads by ten among men. Obama leads among voters under 40 while McCain is on top among older voters. McCain leads among by three among Investors while Obama is up by six among non-Investors (demographic crosstabs are available to Premium Members).

Before these last two polls, McCain had been ahead in five of the six Rasmussen Reports polls conducted this year and the two candidates were tied once. Two weeks ago, McCain held a three-point edge. In fact, the candidates have been within three points of each other in seven of the eight polls.

Obama is viewed favorably by 55%, McCain by 52%.

:yourock:

is from Durham, NC. Apparently, NC hasn't gone Democrat since Carter. For OB to be competitive there is simply stunning. :)

:)

very proud of my state!

The chances are looking very good Obama will be the first Democrat since Jimmy Carter to win.
This doesn't surprise me.Back In 2007 I thought there was a chance If he won the Nomination he
could put It In Play.

Consider this.Our first Black Nominee has great chance to win It,Virginia,and Florida.Not only
that but The Insider Advantage new poll has him only 6 points down In Georgia(If you listened to
some people Mccain should have a huge double diget lead) and RAS has him down by 9 In Texas,and
Mississippi(when he should be down by double digets) and any state where he Is competive even If he doesn't take It he can help get turnout for Senate races to help get the higher majority there.
