RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Left-leaning pollster PPP said Tuesday that its latest survey of potential North Carolina voters shows Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama for the first time since October.
Public Policy Polling said Romney leads 48 percent to 46 - a gain of seven points on Obama since April, when the President led by a 49-44 margin. PPP said Romney's also increased his share of the Democratic vote from 15 percent to 20 percent, suggesting he's convincing some more conservative voters within the party to cross over.

We need to focus on turn out in the blue parts ... wake county, Durham county, Orange county, Charlotte, Asheville, even parts of the outer banks.

One caveat with Romney's lead on this poll is that it finds Obama winning the black vote by only a 76/20 margin. That seems like an unrealistically low share of African American voters for Obama.

having said that, I think it's beyond stupid to think that the President's odds are any more than 50/50.
I thought it was beyond stupid to think Walker would be recalled as well.

Good for you. The depth of your knowledge might just be unparalleled on DU.
