Poll: Clinton Within Margin of Error…In North Carolina

by Stephan Tawney on May 5, 2008

It’s the latest Insider Advantage/Majority Opinion Survey conducted for SPP, and it shows the race in North Carolina tightening. With the Tar Heel State voting tomorrow, our gal is within the margin of error.

Obama: 48%

Clinton: 45%

Undecided: 7%

According to Matt Towery:

Clinton has increased her lead among white voters to 58% – very close to the 60% plus level needed to pull off a victory. She now leads among those who say they are Democrats but has started to trail among Unaffiliated voters, who are allowed to participate in Tuesday’s election. Additionally, African-American voters are not quite as solid with Obama as they have been, at least based on previous exit polls. Clinton has remained in the upper teens (17%) of African-American support in our recent surveys. African-American turnout will be the key to this race.

Voting alongside North Carolina tomorrow is Indiana, where Hillary maintains a steady lead. Is it actually possible that Hillary could carry both Indiana and North Carolina?
