As President Barack Obama prepares for his bus trip into North Carolina later this month, he remains in a competitive position in the state, according to a new poll.
Obama leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by 46 percent to 45 percent, which is too close to be statistically significant, according to a survey by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm based in Raleigh.
He leads Rep. Ron Paul of Texas by 46 percent to 43 percent, leads Texas Gov. Rick Perry by 48 percent to 44 percent, and leads both Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich by 49 percent to 42 percent.
Overall, 42 percent of North Carolinians say they prefer Eastern-style barbecue to 26 percent who go for Western-style barbecue; another 32 percent said they were not sure.
The survey also found that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's comments back in 1992 that he had tasted road kill that tasted better than Eastern North Carolina barbecue were not helpful. The poll found that 75 percent of Tar Heel voters disagreed with that statement, and 40 percent of voters were less likely to vote for him because of that statement.

The fate of the nation is at stake and 40% of NC voters are less likely to vote for Perry, because 20 years ago he made an unkind statement about the taste of NC barbecue?!
And why is the poll even asking that question, who even remembers that -- the only reason is to try to use even the most ridiculous thing against Perry.
Perry ping
Whatever :-)
The Left can play mindgames and spin meaningless numbers all they want to.
That's depressing. I mean, how can someone defend that?
Indeed. You’d have to be NUTS to support that open borders fraud, La Raza Rick !

I ordered a chicken sandwich once in Virginia very close to the North Carolina border and was shocked to discover that said sandwich contained bones...
I will never, ever vote for NC chicken sandwiches again!
If anyone believes this PPP poll, I got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale cheap.

In none of the polls does Obama pull over 50%. Not good for Barry, no matter how you try to spin it...
And still the Bamster still can’t break the 50% barrier.
It’s because Boehner is horrible as Speaker of the House.
Well, NC barbeque is pretty bad.
So that would be a credit to Perry’s honesty and sense of taste.
isn’t this one of the polls used by MSNBC? It’s as believable as the jobs bill that will turn the economy around like it was 1995 all over again. Let them take a Poll with a Romney/Cain ticket {you know they will only poll demorats}
Ha,.....I think it should be a Romney/McCain ticket...
Maybe you haven’t been here for some time but addicted Freepers like myself and other know that PPP is run by Soros and the magic phrase IN THE ARTICLE IS PPP is “DEMOCRAT LEANING”.
You were the only in the entire thread who got it about PPP...
“Eastern-style barbecue”
