Perhaps the only disturbing news for Obama in the survey is that most Clinton voters (56%) say they are not likely to vote for the Illinois Senator in the general election against John McCain. A month ago, 45% of Clinton voters said they were not likely to vote for Obama against McCain.

There remains an enormous racial divide in the North Carolina data. Obama leads 86% to 9% among African-American voters. Clinton holds a 47% to 38% advantage among white voters in the Tar Heel State. A month ago, Obama led by fifty-three points among African-Americans while Clinton led by twenty points among White voters.

Obama is viewed favorably by 75% of the state's Likely Primary Voters, up three points from a month ago. Clinton is viewed favorably by 66%, down four since early March.

And Obama is still running better in North Carolina GE polls than John Kerry did on Election Day 2004, despite the fact that more than half of Clinton supporters are not ready to support him.

This also explains Obama's current nationwide GE deficit against McCain. His favorables (52-45) aren´t that bad either when more than 50% of the other half of the party are indicating to stay at home or to vote against him.

But of that 56%, how many are republicans switching parties just to support Clinton to keep the Democratic race longer and bloodied and in shambles in in the next coming months? Unless theres seperate groups A. Clinton supporters and B. Republican crossovers. Then my logic is flawed and I should hush.

[Verily]

The more Clinton voters switch to Obama, the fewer of the remaining Clinton supporters like Obama. No surprise there.

I don't think so, that is what they say now in April, but once Obama win and re-unite the party he will win over most of them people.

HAHA oh you're too much, my friend. Obama can really do no wrong! They may say that in April, but no race has been this hotly contested in the history of Presidential elections. It really doesn't have a gage to measure it on.

NC could be the critical state, and it's looking very good for Obama.

[Democratic Hawk]

My hope is that Obama can break 40% of the white primary vote in NC and if these numbers hold through to May 6, he may well be on course to do that
