Also it is pretty accurate. Obama is down to McCain by about 7 points in there polling but also has 6 points less Democrats then McCain has Republicans. That will likely change when Clinton endorses Obama and campaigns for him.
North Carolina is going to be a real battleground with a top Senate race (Hagan), top House race (Kissell), top Governors race (Perdue) and a top battleground state at the presidential level. There is really a chance to turn NC blue!
This is now three polls that have shown this. North Carolina is now the 7th most likely seat to flip after the usual 6.
It’s pretty ridiculous that we have seven tier 1 races and its not even June yet, let alone the political season.
North Carolina Governor:
McCrory (R) 45%
Perdue (D) 39%
WTF? I thought we were supposed to be favored in this race???

Registered Democrats heavily outnumber registered Republicans in North Carolina, especially after the primary. It seems likely to me that Obama will lose a large number of those votes, just as Kerry did. Bush got 96% of NC Republicans, Kerry got only 84% of NC Democrats.
Remember they have just had a heated primary, that might have cost Perdue some support.
