Recent polling North Carolina has been all over the place, with SUSA showing a huge McCain bounce, and PPP showing things stable. As I pondered that yesterday, I wrote.I'm glad to know that Daily Kos will be publishing its latest Research 2000 poll of NC tomorrow. More like SUSA, or more like PPP?
Well, sorry to say, our R2K poll came out looking more like SUSA. . John McCain, Elizabeth Dole, and Pat McCrory are finding minor movement in their direction in the wake of the Republican convention, the newest survey from Public Policy Polling finds.
McCain now leads Barack Obama 48-44 after holding a three point lead in PPP’s previous survey. The Republican nominee is benefiting from undecided white voters moving into his column.
McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate is a popular one with Tar Heel voters. 42% say that it makes them more likely to vote for him, compared to 32% who say they are more likely to vote for Barack Obama because of his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate.
“With both conventions in the rear view mirror, North Carolina still appears to be competitive,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But it will probably take exceptional turnout from groups favorable to him to put Barack Obama over the top. He’s not going to win the state by persuading people who voted for Bush in 2004 to switch sides.”
