RALEIGH — In the wake of the Republican National Convention, a Civitas Institute Flash Poll found that Republican candidate Mitt Romney took a 10 percentage-point lead over President Obama.

The Flash Poll of 500 registered North Carolina voters was taken Sept. 4-6 and had a margin of error of plus-minus 4.5 percent. Asked if the election for President were held today who they would vote for, 53 percent chose Romney and 43 percent chose Obama.

I think Romney has the momentum in NC. SurveyUSA, who actually did the poll, has one of the best track records for polling and is a personal favorite. Even with the most recent PPP survey with Obama leading by 1, Real Clear Politics still gives Romney a 3.5% edge.

Raz and Gallup should just poll the 23 unemployed million, and then we will get a better idea of who will win.

Rove told Hannity ( confirmed elsewhere) that Obama has given up on NC. He also said the Romney team told him they were tied and trending up in OH, that they were up in FL.

Any poll that is not restricted to “Likely Voters” is completely irrelevant. Less than 55% of eligible voters will actually vote this year. That means that roughly half of the people Gallup calls are skewing the results.

“Obama is Pulling out of North Carolina.”

How they ever considered that competitive beats me - 2008 was a freak election. Don’t be surprised to see him giving up on Virginia pretty soon. They have a lot to worry about in the Midwest now, and don’t have the luxury of trying to ‘expand the field’.

I'd be very surprised to see him give up on Virginia, where the Obama-enabling Democrat Virgil Goode is on the ballot...several idiots here are voting for him

Slight correction. 55% of ADULTS usually vote not 55% of registered voters

Just heard that Mr. Obama is running ads in Minnesota & Washington. He has pulled out of North Carolina and Indiana.

He is in big trouble.
