A new poll from the Civitas Institute found that the Democratic ticket of President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden is 4 percentage points ahead of the Republican slate — presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.

The Civitas Poll of 600 likely North Carolina voters was taken Sept. 18-19 and had a margin of error of plus-minus 4 percent. Asked if the election were held today who they would vote for, 49 percent chose Obama/Biden and 45 percent chose Romney/Ryan. (This is the first 2012 Civitas Poll to include the vice presidential candidates.)

Note- this was at the height of the 47% media frenzy. So... have to hope that this was a temporary blip... as we MUST win NC to have a shot.

Never heard of this poll.

What’s that Baltimore football fan chant again?

[God luvs America]

now breakdown by party/affiliation...no link to polling data...the comments uner this poll even calling this out...

[Sarah Barracuda]

This poll is BS..Rasmussen already had a poll a week ago that shows Romney with a 6 point lead. Even Bob Beckel conceded that Romney has won NC

[ILS21R]

BS poll.

[Adriatic Cons]

They released it today... WTH? Why hold it for a few days before releasing. and yet... it indicates that it’s a GOP-sponsored poll??

[MustKnowHistory]

I just don’t think opinions are swayed this easily.

[Adriatic Cons]

I would tend to agree, but at RCP, it indicates that it’s a GOP-sponsored poll... That’s the sole reason I thought it was a little note-worthy

Based on what we're seeing with absentee ballots in OH, I just don't see how any of these polls are legit. So far, we are seeing substantial GOP leads in reddish counties; some GOP lead in some heavily Dem counties; and about the predicted split in Cayahoga County---except that if the indies go for Romney, then OH goes red.

If that's the case here, I think most of these other polls are bogus.

[God luvs America]

actually one of the commenters found the info: “Because the sample is made of : 45% Democrats, 33% Republicans and 22% Independents. That’s just crazy!”

BALONEY! 9.5 percent Unemployment in NC and there is anyone who believes this? Romney will win NC by 10 percentage points. Why do you post stuff like this?

45/33/22 (D/R/I) - Bullshit

[tatown]

This poll is old, why not pull it?

Oh and BTW newbie I’d suggest you think twice about what you are posting. This poll is old and would only serve one purpose.

[snarkytart]

Not every poll under the sun needs to be posted. I mean who in the hell is Civitas Polling anyway?

[KC_Conspirator]

Romney needs to do well in suburbs and exurbs.

[Adriatic Cons]

Sure hope so... I made the mistake of checking the latest polls at RCP... This was the only (R) poll

The rest look ugly, mostly from the usual liberal slime... but also, Ras has Obama in a blowout in Michigan (O+12, same as PA)...

Others, down in Colorado (PPP- O+6), Nevada (ARG- O+7), Iowa (ARG- O+7), Florida (ARG- O+5), Wisconsin (WeAskAm- O+12)... and it continues.

45D-33R-22I sample in a state Obama won in 2008 by .03 of a point.

Garbage in-Garbage out polling.

[Adriatic Cons]

I posted it, cause it’s a REPUB poll... So... I felt that was a little note-worthy

[Republican Wildcat]

A poll taken September 18-19 is not “new” at this point.
