RALEIGH (WTVD) -- In an election for President of the United States in North Carolina Tuesday, September 09, Republican John McCain suddenly and breathtakingly surges to a 20-point win over Democrat Barack Obama, 58% to 38%, according to this latest exclusive SurveyUSA election poll conducted for ABC11-WTVD.

In 3 previous SurveyUSA NC tracking polls, McCain had led by 8, 5, and 4 points. Today: 20. McCain has gained ground in every demographic group. Among men, McCain led by 9 last month, 27 today. Among women, Obama led by 2 last month, trails by 12 today. McCain holds 9 of 10 Republican voters; Obama holds 3 of 4 Democratic voters; independents, who were split last month, break today crisply for McCain, where, in the blink of an eye, he is up by 25.

See link. Survey USA poll out today has McCain leading 58-38. I guess it's time for the boys at RCP to color North Carolina red.

NC was done when Palin was announced. In fact, the South should be just about locked up as well...

That was never in any doubt. I expect similar results in Virginia and the rest of the Old Confederacy.

Don’t be surprised when Biden has health problems and Hilly has to step in at the last moment. And he should definitely stay away from Ft. Marcy Park.

Time for the all knowing Chuck Todd to update his map!

If Sarah Palin can transform NC into AL, I see no reason why she can’t transform MI into NE.

I’m not a big poll guy but “YIKES!” If true, this could be HUGH and SERIES for Camp Obama.

Hillary does not want the vice presidential nomination, nor does she want Obama to win.

Here’s hoping that big lead in NC can help us get rid of Heath Shuler here in WNC.
