Quote:

In North Carolina, the likely voters surveyed favored Obama by the narrowest of margins — 44.6 percent to 44.2 percent. In Virginia, Obama led 44.6 percent to 43.6 percent.

North Carolina, or, more likely, Virginia could decide the election.

“Those two states should not be tossups,” said Huffmon, the pollster. “They are two safe, red states.”

If Obama can win the states that Democratic U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts carried four years ago against Bush, and take Virginia and Florida — also a dead heat — the Election Night suspense could end quickly — in the Eastern time zone, Huffmon said.
