SurveyUSA: Hillary Only Five Points Behind In North Carolina
A new SurveyUSA poll of North Carolina shows the Democratic race seriously tightening here, with the result now within the margin of error. The numbers, compared to a week ago:
Obama 49% (-1)
Clinton 44% (+3)
Key internal numbers: Obama leads 87%-11% among African-American voters, but Clinton has taken a 61%-30% advantage among whites.
Other polls from Rasmussen and Public Policy Polling, have shown Hillary catching up, but with Obama still ahead by double digits.
North Carolina is widely seen as a state that Obama not only has to win, but has to win big. Otherwise, a narrow victory of even a Hillary upset victory would heavily persuade super-delegates of Clinton's case that Obama is really a weak candidate..
