North Carolina: Romney 49%, Obama 44%

Mitt Romney has a five-point edge over President Obama in the battleground state of North Carolina.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Tar Heel State finds Romney with 49% support, while the president earns 44% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and another four percent (4%) are undecided.

This moves the state from Toss-Up Status to Leans Romney in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections.

Yes! A liberal is winning. Man America is in such great shape for 2012-2016.

ANYBODY is better than Obama.

[fortheDeclaration]

Agreed.

I don’t think Romney will win NC. He will not pick any states from 0bama. I think the election results will be the same as in 2008, with 0bama having a shot at also adding GA and MO to his states. We are officially a Socialist/Entitlement society. Americans love their hand outs and the love 0bama for giving it to them. It will be 0bama in a walk, I say 55% to 44% nationally.

IF this was an actual reflection of what is going on in North Carolina it WOULD be troubling, but as it stands it is an example of the fact that Democrats aren't answering polls. It must be increasing more difficult to try to put together an honest poll. Question: How is the Republican plus 10 in the gov race and Romney plus 5?
Has the Gay marriage had just a 5% difference for Obama who won by a handful in 2008? NONSENSE!

Ok, now will someone send this to Rove at FOX so when they do the stupid “electoral college analysis”, they will take NC off the “leans Rep” side...
And SC, too.
Cripes, they are annoying!

I was referring specifically to the party affiliation of those polled--how many were Democrat and how many were Republican.

It's only of interest as a means of comparing the results with those more notorious polls in which the Dems are polled 6-9% more than Republicans (or 19% in that last poll)--LOL.
