The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Tar Heel State shows Obama attracting 49% of the vote while McCain earns 47%. A week ago, McCain held a three-point edge. This is the first time in eight Rasmussen Reports polls that Obama has held any kind of a lead in North Carolina, though the candidates were tied once as well.
Not even close in North Carolina.
The survey must have been taken in Durham.
I think the socialists are pulling out all stops in this.
they see either their imminent total victory or total collapse.
McCain had better get on TV and SOON and tell how this financial mess got started, how HE predicted it years ago anad tried to stop it, and how the DEMOCRAPS prevented action.
If they let it pass without telling how it happened then they deserve to lose. it is the BIGGEST DEMOCRAP SCREW-UP IN HISTORY
So now we don’t like Rasmussen? We’re whistling past the graveyard I think. NC shouldn’t even be close.
Sounds like suspending your campaign, removing ads, and backing off a national security debate with a community organizer is sound strategy. /sarc
I was called two days ago and when the poll was over I asked who was sponsoring the poll and was told “The Democrat National Committee.org”. I was asked how likely I was to vote, who I would be supporting for President and for Senate as well as whether I was pro-choice or pro-life.
At this stage, McCain is behind about 5 pts nationally. This is probably still enough to win NC narrowly, but the poll is well within the margin of error.
Welcome to FR!
ahahaha!
Unfortunately this is probably accurate. The American people believe that this mess is the fault of Republicans. The Republicans WE need to set the record straight. Government/Democrat mandated affirmative action lending is reponsible. It’s not too little regulation but too much government interference in freedom.
Seems to me like it’s more “pro-McCain” than it was “pro-Bush” four years ago here in east Carolina. Certainly I see a lot of Obama support, but I see more and more McCain support since Palin.
I’m not worried about NC, we’ll be a red state this election. These polls are a bunch of hooey.
Polls like this are good. They will motivate conservatives to get off their duffs and go to the polls.
Also, be on the lookout for "news articles" discussing whether our ballots are really "secret". These articles will be used to scare white union voters into voting dem.
If that were the case, Obama would be competitive throughout the South.
Carrboro, for those who don't live in NC, is Chapel Hill's punk liberal little sister.
This is a one-night poll (Tuesday).
no denying were are seeing a major electoral shift, and we are in danger. its really sad that average america would trust Obama with the economy over mccain.
we need to fight as hard as we all can till nov 4!!
I have yet to meet a NC business person who is for Obama — even in Chapel Hill. Many are hiding their voting intentions because the Obama people go ballistic at the mention of Palin or McCain. It is simply not good for business to have these deranged idiots yelling at you in front of customers.
Expect McCain to win by 8 points.
Here in California, I don’t know how many times I have gotten the thmubs-up sign or a wave of the hand from drivers whose car sports the sticker ‘Hillary!’.
My car has that magnetic WND bumper sticker ‘NObama.’
