The race for President in North Carolina is showing signs of tightening with just two weeks remaining until election day. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama had opened up a 5 point lead in a previous Civitas poll, but a new poll released today shows his margin down to three points over John McCain.According to the live telephone survey of 600 likely General Election voters, Obama leads McCain 47-42 among those who initially voiced support for a candidate. However, when undecided voters are asked which way they lean, Obama’s lead becomes to 48-45. Libertarian candidate Bob Barr receives two percent of the vote. Seven percent of voters remained undecided.
“Since John McCain has begun to campaign in North Carolina, his numbers seem to be improving,” said Francis De Luca, Executive Director of the Civitas Institute. “He’s been able to pick up two points on Obama in the past two weeks according to our polling.”
A gender gap appears to be developing as female voters break for Obama 54-36, but McCain holds a 9 point advantage with male voters.
