Quote:
For years, North Carolina had been considered a safely Republican state, as no Democrat has won the state since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Holding North Carolina is critical for McCain to have a chance at winning the election next week.Just two percent (2%) say they are still undecided.
Obama leads among North Carolina voters who have already cast their ballots, while McCain leads among those who have not. Of those who made their choice but have not yet voted, nine percent (9%) say there is still a chance they could change their minds before Election Day.
A big shift this week comes from unaffiliated voters, who heavily favored McCain in the last poll. Those voters now favor Obama by a 20-point margin. McCain manages to pick up support from 15% of Democrats, up from 11% last week, while just six percent (6%) of Republicans say they will vote for Obama.
Men continue to favor McCain by double digits, while women choose Obama 55% to 42%.
McCain has a big lead over Obama among white voters in North Carolina, 61% to 35%. Obama has a dominant 91% to 7% lead among non-white voters.
McCain is viewed favorably by 59% and unfavorably by 40%. For Obama, those ratings are 52% favorable, 47% unfavorable.
