From PPP North Carolina poll: " Independent voters continue to move toward Obama in droves. He now has a 51-33 lead with them. Heâs also now up to receiving 82% of the Democratic vote. Staying over the 80% threshold there would almost certainly ensure a victory in North Carolina. McCain now leads among white voters just 55-39, an edge thatâs not nearly enough given Obamaâs 92-6 lead with black voters. âAssuming that the black vote is pretty much fixed McCain needs to add about ten points to his lead among white voters in the next two weeks if heâs going to win the state.â A atypical NC supporter: Seneca
