New N.C. poll gives Romney small lead in presidential race
Source: Charlotte Observer
Republican Mitt Romney appears to have gotten his bounce from his partys national convention at least in the state hosting the Democratic convention, according to a poll released Sunday.
The new Elon University/Charlotte Observer Poll shows the GOP presidential candidate leading President Barack Obama 47 percent to 43 percent in North Carolina.
The poll, which has a margin of error of 3 percentage points, surveyed likely voters from Aug. 25-30, during the GOP convention in Tampa. Elon did the poll in partnership with the Observer and the News & Observer of Raleigh.
I would have to say that is a small, modest bump, said poll director Kenneth Fernandez.

The pollster has no track record. Let's see some history.

It gets my goat, when I see, "...a small, modest bump".
Spare me.
That can go up, down, up, down...depending not only how they do the sampling but what ice cream (aka, SHINY OBJECT) is on sale at the store...millions are just stupid and will change like the wind, when put on the spot.
Who owns that paper?

(61,690 posts)The pollster says there is a margin of error of 3 percentage points. That means it could be 47% Romney to 43% Obama, but it could just as easily be 44% Romney to 46% Obama. In other words, a tie.
North Carolina is going to be incredibly close. It's going to be all about voter turnout.
