PPP: Obama by 25 in NC

[MattNC]

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_NC_Release_042108.pdf

Obama: 57%
Clinton: 32%
Undecided: 11%


On a side note, our Senate race to unseat Dole is pathetic.

1. Obama by 13....that's still my prediction.

PA will go Clinton +9 and Indiana will be Clinton +5

[cali]

2. Nah, he'll beat her by 20+ in NC

is my guess. And I think he'll take Indiana by 8, but she'll win PA by 12.

3. Indiana is not a clinton stronghold and she will go into May without much of a warchest.

Already Obama has put Indiana in play

[MattNC]

14. I'd be surprised

if it's that's close. NC is a good state for Obama (relatively large AA population, growing number of higher educated whites, lower number of "working class" whites like that in Ohio/Penn, lots of college towns).

4. Predictions: (1) The gap won't close by nearly as much as the PA gap did....

... and (2) White folks will declare this to be evidence of their favorite fiction "reverse racism".

[Zachstar]

5. Depneding on and IF Edwards endorses. I say by 20-30

Mainly because Clinton's numerous gates are about to hit hard in the news after the primary.

6. Even with Obama ahead, the SMART money is on the Military-Industrial Complex

wilkommen auf Amerika

so it's always been... so it shall be

7. Kay Hagan has no chance to unseat Dole? n/t

[MattNC]

11. very little

She has little name recognition, little money, and the DSCC doesn't look like it will send much support her way. It's a shame b/c Dole is vulnerable, and we had several more qualified, better known candidates than Hagan who declined to run.

[NJSecularist]

21. Who didn't run that you wanted to run? n/t

[MattNC]

22. Several...

Mike Easley (Governor...term is up)
Richard Moore (State Treasurer...running for Gov)
Beverly Perdue (Lt. Governor...running for Gov)
Roy Cooper (Atty. General...decided to stay in current position)

You could thrown in Brad Miller or David Price from Congress, but they are both happy where they are. The Dems have dominated the governorship here for so long that it's more appealing to run for it rather than a US Senate seat.

18. The standard reply in NC is Kay who?

[Hope And Change]

8. K & R!

:kick:

[aaaaaa5a]

9. I guess the Keystone margin won't matter....

If this is even remotely close to accurate, a win that large would wipe away any sizable popular vote advantage Clinton gains in Pennsylvania.

[malik flavors]

10. If Obama actually blows her out in N.C., but she can't blow him out in PA. That says a lot.

It show he does better on her turf than she does on his.

[Scurrilous]

12. Good news.

K & R :thumbsup:

[Lucky 13]

13. Yeah, but they're just Southern working class voters.... SCREW 'EM!

:rofl:

[meow mix]

15. K&R

[jenmito]

16. Even if EVERY undecided voter goes to Hillary, Obama has a double-digit lead!

And don't forget, Harold Ford repeatedly said that the winner of NC will be our nominee.

[mnhtnbb]

17. I can't believe we're stuck with Liddy Dole for 6 more years. It's pathetic that

either Moore or Purdue wouldn't take her on.

[book_worm]

19. I think that will make up for any loss Obama may experience in PA tomorrow.

[mnhtnbb]

20. The survey is among likely Dem voters. Expect a much different final result

NC has an open primary; if you're unaffiliated you can vote Dem or Repub ticket. Last I looked, about 1/3 of the state is registered unaffiliated. That could significantly change the results.
