Before these last three polls, McCain had been ahead in five of the six Rasmussen Reports polls conducted this year, and the two candidates were tied once. In all polls, the race for North Carolina’s Electoral College votes has been competitive.The numbers aren’t so close when it comes to the bailout bill: Just 26% agree it was a good thing to do while 51% disagree. Only 26% believe it will help the economy. Another 26% say it will hurt while 30% believe the $700-billion taxpayer investment will have no impact on the nation’s economy.
In North Carolina, McCain and Obama are each viewed favorably by 55% of voters.
Fifty-five percent (55%) also give positive reviews to Joseph Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee. Fifty-one percent (51%) say the same about McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin.
Obama has a solid lead among voters who earn less than $40,000 a year while most earning $60,000 or more favor McCain. McCain leads by a two-to-one margin among regular churchgoers in North Carolina while Obama leads by a similar margin among those who rarely or never attend a house of worship (see full demographic crosstabs).
