Poll: N.C. up for grabs for McCain, Obama

[supernova]

Raleigh, N.C. — Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are in a dead heat in the presidential race in North Carolina, according to a new WRAL News poll.

A survey of 500 likely voters Tuesday by polling firm Rasmussen Reports shows McCain has 45 percent of the vote and Obama has 43 percent. The margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

The results are similar to a WRAL News poll released days after the state's May 6 primary, when McCain topped Obama by a 48 to 45 percent margin.

It looks like Ohio, Virginia, and NC are the current toss up states.

3. No surprise. McCain isn't very popular here in NC. And if Obama continues to show he is a Christain

It will play very good in NC more than anywhere else. This is the Bible Belt

Not be too over the top about it, but just say the "muslim" stuff is wrong... and consistently and lots of independents will vote for him as well as Dems. :-)
