Here are the latest results from the North Carolina poll by Public Policy Polling published on USAElectionPolls.com:
There were 1048 voters polled on 6/26-29.

| John McCain | 45% |
| Barack Obama | 41% |
| Bob Barr | 5% |

One of the most interesting findings in the poll is that while McCain leads 49-36 among life time residents of North Carolina, Obama has a 46-40 lead with those voters who have moved to the state from somewhere else.“The race continues to be tight in North Carolina,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “This may not be the year Democrats win the Presidential contest here, but the data showing Obama leading among non-natives is an indication that this state could become bluer as more and more people move here in the coming years.”
Obama is still only getting the support of 67% of self described Democrats, while 83% of Republicans intend to vote for McCain. Boosting those numbers will be the key to Obama having any shot of taking the state this fall.
