Undecided independent voters seem to be moving in McCain’s direction. Last week Obama had a 51-39 lead with that demographic. Now it’s just 50-46, an indication that the Democratic nominee isn’t necessarily losing support but McCain might be picking up the late deciders.“It looks likely to be a long election night in North Carolina,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “The race couldn’t be much closer.”
One race that doesn’t look particularly close is that for the US Senate in the state. Kay Hagan has opened up a seven point lead over incumbent Elizabeth Dole, 51-44.
“Kay Hagan’s gained four points on her lead in the last week,” said Debnam. “Clearly the Godless Americans ad backfired.”
The Governor’s race is also too close to call, with Bev Perdue leading Pat McCrory by the razor thin margin of 49-48.
In the Council of State races Walter Dalton has a clear lead for Lieutenant Governor, as does Wayne Goodwin for Insurance Commissioner, Steve Troxler for Agriculture Commissioner, and Cherie Berry for Labor Commissioner. Beth Wood is holding a small lead over Les Merritt for Treasurer.
