The margin of error is 3.1 so this is still not much of a lead actually. Obama has got issues if this is the best he is doing and Romney isn't even the nominee yet. Once he is and Republicans start to come together, Obama will be hurting.

You're right, now the focus will be on Obama's failures. The Republicans and a good deal of Independents will rally around Romney as things become clearer.
Romney will even pull quite a few Democrats also. 3+ years of Obama lies, BS, Spin and unkept promises coupled with 2 ongoing wars ( yes they belong to Obama now) high unemployment, gas prices,Bernanke, Geithner and Eric Holder will draw a sharp contrast against Romney.
In short " Hope & Change" the sequel will prove to be a flop. Now Obama has to run on his record instead of empty slogans/promises.
Nearly 4 years of " Blame Bush" just doesn't cut it anymore.

lol you have no idea how elections work. George Bush didn't run on his record in 2004, he made it about John Kerry being a flip flop and won. Obama will make this election about what a scumbag Romney is and win in a landslide
Got a more balanced poll than one done by PPP, the Rasmussen of the Democrat Party? NC is still in tossup mode according to RCP, and RCP has it as tossup, leaning Romney

Actually, I suspect Romney will ultimately carry North Carolina, but my reasons don't involve whining about the pollster in question, particularly when that pollster doesn't show the left-wing bias you claim it does -- I simply expect this election to be closer than the 2008 election (Romney has demonstrated considerably more competence than John McCain) and North Carolina was a very narrow win for Obama in 2008.

I'm still kind of in shock Obama carried it in 2008. I think Romney will probably end up taking North Carolina but the fact that North Carolina is going to be a fight is not a good sign for the Romney camp. His unfavorables are awful 56% see him as unfavorable and 62% of independents view him as unfavorable. That's quite the uphill battle he has.
Not a total surprise and I would think, your living in the state would know that. He carried it in 2008. That being said, I still think Romney can pull the state back to the Red, but we will know in less than 7 months.

It is North Carolina. If Republicans cannot win NC then they are pretty much scr**ed. Furthermore Obama is trending upwords as the poll says while Mitt is on a downward trajectory.
Additionally, Obama is starting to run on the issues contrary to what Republicans are saying. He has has attacked Romney for not supporting the president's Auto bailout package, and now Romney is being hit for his wishy washy positions on the Lilly Ledbetter act that Obama and the Democrats passed.
As to NC I think Obama will ultimately win here, especially if he is able to maintain his on the ground organizational message. As I have said numerous times North Carolina, while less then most of the south, is still a socially conservative state. It is not really an economically conservative state. If the Republicans had nominated someone who was a consistent social conservative they would probably have no problem wining NC, but absent that it will be close, even advantage Obama.
