North Carolina: Romney 51%, Obama 45% (Rasmussen)

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9/14/12

Mitt Romney has cleared the 50% mark again in the battleground state of North Carolina despite the presence of the Democratic National Convention there little over a week ago.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely North Carolina Voters shows Romney with 51% support to President Obama’s 45%. One percent (1%) likes some other candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

IF he is,he is doing it prevent the election from looking like a potential blowout for Romney.

I think Scott secretly supports Romney and doesn't want to do anything that might screw things up.

He is using 13% AA turnout. It may be 11 to 12 percent.

5 That 45 percent for Obama in NC is about the same solid bloc that voted against Senator Helms five times! What helps Obama is the vote in Charlotte and Asheville. I don’t know about Raleigh and Wilmington though.

And I was proud to vote for him every time since 1980. I so miss him. Others have pointed out that other Dem concentrations are in the RTP = Research Triangle Park = Raleigh/NCSU/state capitol, Durham/Duke and Chapel Hill/UNC-CH with Cary in the middle. Also the new demographic of "tweeners" = northeasterner retirees settling among the golf resorts in SE NC instead of going to FL. At least the incumbent Dem governor is on her way out.

AA-—sorry, I don’t follow. What is AA.

I hear he's pulling out of WI as well. Also, last poll out of Oregon showed Romney down 4. and Obama is running ads in California. I'm not suggesting that the Kenyan will lose CA but his internal polling must have some awful news.
