PPP: North Carolina Primary A Dead Heat, Hillary Stronger Than Obama In Ohio
A new survey from Public Policy Polling (D) shows a close race in the North Carolina primary, a heavily African-American contest where Obama is seen as the favorite. Here are the numbers, compared to their last poll from two weeks ago:
Obama 44% (-3)
Clinton 43% (+0)
From the internals: Obama leads 72%-19% among black voters, while Hillary is ahead 56%-30% with whites. With Obama having started out as the favorite here, a potential loss would seriously damage his candidacy and boost Hillary's chance at the nomination.
A separate PPP poll also shows Hillary performing stronger than Obama in the general election for Ohio, giving fuel to the Hillary camp's argument that they're more electable in key big states:
Clinton (D) 45%, McCain (R) 44%
McCain (R) 49%, Obama (D) 41%
