Obama at 50% approval in North Carolina, would beat all GOP candidates

Raleigh, N.C. – President Obama is at majority approval in North Carolina for the first
time since June 2009, five months into his now 28-month term. 50% approve and 46%
disapprove, up from 49-48 last month. And he may have lucked out when Mike
Huckabee declined the chance to depose him next year. Huckabee was consistently the
president’s strongest challenger in the South, including in North Carolina.
PPP’s latest poll of the Tar Heel State has Huckabee trailing the president by one point,
the same as last month and almost every month, and basically the same as Obama’s
margin over John McCain in 2008. The toughest remaining competitor so far, Mitt
Romney, is not much further behind that pace, trailing by three (46-43), the same as last
month. But as he officially announced his candidacy, another Southerner, Newt
Gingrich, has seen his deficit double from four points last month to eight now (50-42).
Sarah Palin, the biggest remaining question mark in the potential GOP field, is down 52-
40, as in April.

North Carolina.. south of the Mason Dixon line that the republicans say they have in their back pocket??

:) this is a happy face

are the nominee. NC isn't going to vote for a Mormon

Constitution to keep gays from getting married (only southern state that hasn't)

Don't underestimate the local preacher's ability to look past Romney's Mormonism in order to keep us evil homos from being treated with anything close to respect...

The Dems need to hang the Ryan vote around Repubs' necks as much as possible.

Obama-the-Magnificent poised for yet another victory!

in the States; gotta get House back.

If the flipped states, I've always thought NC and Indiana would be the toughest to keep.

KnR!

voting times and require voter id's. Not good news for Dems.
