North Carolina is the state that wasn't supposed to be close. Obama was supposed to own it -- or so they said! Now the North Carolina Democratic primary has become an increasingly close race, and the Insider Advantage poll has Hillary actually winning North Carolina!
Southern Political Report:
A survey of 571 registered likely voters in North Carolina’s May 6 Democratic primary shows Sen. Hillary Clinton having moved from a double digit deficit in an InsiderAdvantage poll taken in mid-April to a two point lead over Sen. Barack Obama in this telephone survey, conducted April 29. The survey was weighted for age, race, gender, and political affiliation. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8%
The results were: Hillary Clinton: 44%; Barack Obama: 42%; Undecided: 14%
The IA pollster said white voters have a problem with Wright's recent statement that he'll be back with Obama once Obama's in the White House.
