For John McCain, that is:
John McCain continues to struggle in the traditionally Republican state of North Carolina.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Tar Heel State finds John McCain earning 45% of the vote while Barack Obama attracts 43% support. McCain led by three points a month ago and the two candidates were tied in April. It’s interesting to note that support for both candidates has declined from the previous couple of polls. Six percent (6%) now say they will vote for a third party option and 5% are undecided.
North Calorlina has gone Republican in every Presidential Election since 1980, and in every Presidential election except one, the 1976 Election, since 1968. If Barack Obama is able to make a state like this competitive, then John McCain is in serious trouble.
