Nov 2012

No votes for a specific candidate have been counted yet.
Note: As a life-long North Carolinian, I need to point out that registration and voting patterns are not the same. Many registered Democrats are older blue dogs (conservative) and the unaffiliated voters are all over the map any given year.

Looking forward to a huge ground game!

2008 Registered Democrats 1,238,261 51.77%
Registered Republicans 717,859 30.01%
Unaffiliated Voters 434,092 18.15%
Libertarian 1,550 0.07%
Total 2,391,767

2012 Registered Democrats 1,083,225 47.98% - 12.5%
Registered Republicans 718,553 31.82% + 0.09%
Unaffiliated Voters 451,488 20.00% + 4.01%
Libertarian 4,628 0.20%
Total 2,257,894
