Just the latest round of a good polling day. More beyond the fold.
From the North Carolina poll:
President Obama Leads in North Carolina
The race in North Carolina has begun to stabilize with Obama and Romney receiving the same as they did last week (47% to 44%).
The President’s lead can be attributed to a widening gender gap. Last week women gave Obama a six point advantage; this week the margin has grown to seven (50% to 43%). Romney is now up by one point among men (44% to 45%), whereas the race was tied several days ago..
The typical generational divides can be found here with younger voters offering a double-digit lead to the President (52% to 40%) and Romney has the advantage with the over-50 crowd (42% to 48%). Though it is worth noting that the President has picked up a little steam with voters 70+ -- his vote totals increased by seven points since last week’s track.
Obama wins Independent voters right now (49% Obama, 36% Romney), though he’s running behind among white Independents (38% to 44%).The difference is explained by Obama’s performance among African American Independents (77% to 9%).
While Obama is more likely to be thought to “understand the struggles middle class families face” by a wide, 10-point margin, the difference between the two when it comes to steady leadership (+6) and trusted decision making (+4 Obama) are closer.
