It should be noted that, since 1984, North Carolina and neighboring Virginia have been no more than 5.98 percentage points in their spread from each other. And, in 2012, it marked the first time when they carried differently officially it was North Carolina which was in the Republican column and Virginia in the Democratic column.
MARGINS SPREAD • 1984–2012:

From the 25 presidential elections of 1916–2012, the two states carried differently in 1952, 1956, 1960, 1976, and 2012.
