The Raleigh N&O commissioned a poll of 600 "likely voters statewide who vote regularly" (published today) which finds that Kerry has moved to within three percentage points of El Presidente (and that's well within the margin of error, sports fans!). Kerry in this new poll stands at 45 percent, to Bush's 48 percent. People are saying it's the presence of Edwards on the ticket that has made Kerry come up in their estimation (but we'll wager the presence of Bush on the opposing ticket also has something to do with making North Carolina a battleground state).
"Kerry, to show he is serious about competing here, plans to visit the Charlotte area Friday and discuss economic security, jobs and affordable health care...."
We heard just this morning that "the Charlotte area" might be as close as Lenoir.
