1. HPU Poll: Obama and Romney Deadlocked in North Carolina

HIGH POINT, N.C., Aug. 27, 2012 - A new High Point University Poll of registered voters in North Carolina shows President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney tied with 43 percent of survey participants choosing Obama and 43 percent choosing Romney as the candidate they would vote for if the election were held today.

The new survey, fielded through SurveyUSA the week before the Republican National Convention is held in Tampa, Fla., also shows almost four out of five registered voters in North Carolina are following news about the elections more closely than they did in 2010.

"This has been a closely watched state from early on in the 2012 election cycle," says Martin Kifer, director of the HPU Poll and assistant professor of political science at High Point University. "The new poll shows that North Carolina is still a toss-up state in the presidential election."

5. Yet conservatives claim Obama "could lose Illinois"

No, seriously. Romney can't even lock red NC yet this "shock poll" conducted by a Republican claims Obama "could lose Illinois" http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/20/shock-poll-obama-could-lose-illinois/

It's all over twitter too.

7. Obama won NC in 2008

and so NC is not so very red after all.

6. By mid-October, we will be looking at a landslide.

Obama will be leading in most, if not all the battleground states.

I think Obama will sweep the battleground states.
