“Some folks in the national media have been treating North Carolina as if winning it is a given for Barack Obama,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “The reality is that the state is pretty close, and either candidate could emerge with a victory.”Recent PPP polls in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida have shown Obama struggling in the wake of the recent controversy surrounding his pastor.
The survey also found Richard Moore gaining 17 points from a poll two weeks ago to get within a 44-34 margin of Bev Perdue.
“That’s the power of television,” said Debnam. “Richard Moore’s new ad, launched in the last week, has clearly caused some movement in the polls.”
In the Democratic race for US Senate, Kay Hagan continues to hold a double digit lead over Jim Neal. Hagan is at 22% to Neal’s 11%, followed by Duskin Lassiter at 5% and Marcus Williams and Howard Staley with 3%.
