Here are the latest results from the North Carolina poll by Rasmussen Reports published on USAElectionPolls.com:
There were 700 voters polled on 10/23.
| Rasmussen Reports Date: 10/23 North Carolina Added: 10/24/08 |
|
| John McCain | 50% |
| Barack Obama | 48% |
Quote:
In a survey released on Monday, Obama was ahead by three, 51% to 48%. Last week, the race was tied.But this is the first time the Republican has been ahead since the middle of September. Prior to that he had been leading Obama for months.
Just one percent (1%) now say they are undecided, with another one percent (1%) backing an unspecified third-party candidate.
No Democrat has won North Carolina in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976, and holding the state is critical to any chance McCain has of election.
A plurality of North Carolina voters (48%) in the new poll say McCain is the candidate most likely to carry the state, but 40% expect the Democrat to win North Carolina.
