“This isn’t actually particularly good news for Obama,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “He’s been leading in most North Carolina polls over the last three weeks by double digits. But as the national polls and last night’s results have shown Clinton inching closer, the same trend has occurred in North Carolina.”

One thing that’s very clear is that the spectacle of a contested primary will bring more folks to the polls in North Carolina. 75% of those surveyed said they were more likely to vote if the primary would influence the nominee for President.
