3. Meh

This sounds like a cheerleader poll.

Maybe if everyone gets out to vote....then yes, Obama wins easily.

[barbtries]

5. don't forget

this state went blue in 2008. it's not improbable that it will again, it's likely.

15. Do you really think I forgot that?

The chances of winning by the same margin we did last time are just not there this time. I also don't think you know what "likely" means. Would love to win there, but not counting on it.

[barbtries]

16. i know what likely is.

you can disagree without being disparaging. i live in NC, and i think we'll go blue again, and i'm not the only one.

18. Likely means probable

Which means better than 50%.

Even Dr Wang, who's as optimistic about Obama's chances as anyone says NC leans Rmoney.

[barbtries]

19. okay.

i believe it is probable that Obama will take NC. i can be wrong, and so can Dr Wang.

4. this poll i believe.

okay i'm a hopeless partisan! but seriously, how does a thinking person conclude that romney would make a better president?!

do we get to know the results of early voting, early?

6. This doesn't appear to be a polling organization

I'm confused at how they arrived at this conclusion.

8. I've never heard of them....

...and can't vouch for the poll. But there it is.

9. Are these guys credible pollsters?

Their sampling information seems rational...

11. Rufus Gifford tweeted it

He's an Obama campaign staffer - guy you get 'thank you' email from when you donate, if that means anything.

14. I'll take it.

Honestly have no idea which way NC will go. But good polls are fun! And it helps balances out the Rasmussen.
