Polls in North Carolina are similar to polls in more blue friendly states. It would seem logical to me that if PBO is fairing well in center-right states, then that would be a 'blue flag' that he's doing better in other states.

I can NOT believe NC and Ohio would poll the same way in other words.

It is in a 1% margin. We had NC in 2008. We need to get up 3%. People need to help the campaign or we will lose it.

It is going to be tough for polling to be accurate. The state has seen a population increase of over 1 million in a decade.

Believe me, they collected our names, phone numbers, e-mails at least twice,
and we will be recruited to participate in gotv.

I even e-mailed them about it.

They have always included High Point polls in the past and yet they didn't want to this time for some reason . . .
