NC-PPP: McCrory ahead only by 6

[Miles]

Full Story.

Pat McCrory (R)- 46%
Walter Dalton (D)- 40%

"Although I certainly think McCrory remains the favorite there's reason to believe this will end up being a pretty closely contested race. The 13% of voters who are undecided for Governor support Barack Obama 57-28 for President over Mitt Romney. If those folks ended up supporting the same party for President as for Governor, McCrory's lead would only be 51-49. Dalton is under performing right now with key Democratic constituencies like African Americans and young voters but history suggests those people will end up breaking in his direction and if they do it will be a very close race. He has more room for growth than McCrory does."

Also, the Lt. Governor's race is more of a tossup; the Republicans are still having a runoff:

Linda Coleman (D)- 41%
Dan Forest (R)- 40%

Linda Coleman (D)- 42%
Tony Gurley (R)- 38%

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

NC will probably be stupid yet again and not elect McCrory. I just don't understand the state.

Momentum is with Dalton just as it was with Amendment 1.

Dalton is closing in on McCrory fast just like Perdue was in January and May 2011.

I hope Coleman wins LT. Gov.
