Keep in mind the following 2 pieces of info were *BEFORE* Farenheit 911 was selling out all over the state, including Fayetteville (home of Fort Bragg) and
*BEFORE* Edwards was selected as Vice-Presidential running mate: June 23rd's Raleigh News & Observer:
"Now, North Carolinians' support for the war has dipped.
Fewer than half of voters surveyed say the threat posed by Iraq warranted going to war, according to a statewide poll conducted this month for a partnership of The News & Observer, WRAL-TV and WUNC radio.
That wasn't the case in N&O polls before the war and again in November and January. In November, 57 percent supported the invasion, and in January 58 percent did."

And then this: Winston Salem Journal, May 21st:
Erskine Bowles Takes Double Digit Lead in NC
"From the Winston Salem-Journal, "Erskine Bowles holds a 10 percentage-point lead over Republican Richard Burr in North Carolina's U.S. Senate race, according to a statewide poll":
The statewide poll of 625 likely voters found that 45 percent currently support Bowles, 35 percent support Burr and 20 percent are undecided. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The poll by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. found that 86 percent of voters said they recognize Bowles - a residual effect from his unsuccessful U.S. Senate race against Elizabeth Dole in 2002 -- while just 55 percent recognize Burr, who has represented the 5thDistrict in Congress since 1995.
. . .
Though North Carolina hasn't voted for a Democrat for president since Jimmy Carter, some Republicans were alarmed that the same Mason-Dixon poll showed Bush with just 48 percent of the vote in North Carolina to Democrat John Kerry's 41 percent."
