PPP poll of North Carolina:

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_NC_1123.pdf

Obama 46%
Gingrich 45%

Huckabee 48%
Obama 44%

Obama 48%
Palin 43%

Obama 44%
Romney 44%


Obama job approval:

approve 45%
disapprove 51%

fav/unfavorable ratings of GOP candidates...

among all voters:
Gingrich 34%/43%
Huckabee 44%/31%
Palin 36%/55%
Romney 33%/38%

among Republicans:
Gingrich 56%/20%
Huckabee 67%/11%
Palin 62%/24%
Romney 44%/22%

Romney actually has a lower favorable # among Republicans than among Independents, which is in stark contrast to the other three candidates, whose base is among Republicans.

NC would definitely be extremely tough for Obama to keep with Huckleberry on top of the ticket.

This is why 2012 probably won't be a repeat of 1980.  Obama is leading the most prominent GOP candidates in a rare time of crisis for the rest of his party, he's doing pretty good considering the standards.

     It's not as if 1980 were like 1976 during the campaign. Carter polled pretty closely to Reagan until election day. Not to mention that Reagan was viewed by the political class as a weak candidate & that many Democrats hoped he would be the nominee.

Better than I imagined for North Carolina at this point.

I agree, also many people thought that Reagan was stupid and unable to lead the nation. I would have to say that Palin would be the closest candidate to Reagan.

I respectively disagree.  Reagan was a much better speaker, and had a better political background.

Palin being compared to Reagan....I just spit up my coffee with laughter and he no doubt rolled over in his grave.

Dislike his policies as I did, Palin is not worthy of being the dirt under Reagan's shoe.
However I do hope she gets the nomination...that would be pure comedy and quite an Obama landslide. Plus I want to see the Tina Fey impersonations again!

Ya sure...you betcha!  (wink wink).

Watch this clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edchtf9MS7g

and try to imagine Palin handling herself as well as Reagan in a debate with a comparable level of policy detail.

Reagan comes off sounding like he knows what he's talking about but he did triple the deficit.  The only thing he got right was the part about how reckless a spender Bush's son would be.

If NC truly would be a toss up if the election were held today, then Obama is in much better shape then most of us here had expected.  Hasn't PPP been known to be less than objective in NC, though?  Then again, it is internally consistent with their VA poll from last week that had Obama +5 against Romney and Huckabee there.

PPP has a left leaning distinction but was fairly accurate in 2008 and more so in 2010. Regardless I would not have expected Obama to even be competitive in Virginia at this point and NC is truly shocking to me. He won it by a whisker in 2008 at the high in his popularity. So with his approvals where they are it just indicates to me how weak the republican field against a president who one would expect to be more vulnerable.
