This is significant. @CookPolitical shifts North Carolina from "Toss Up" to "Leans Democratic": http://cookpolitical.com/story/10127
"Last week, we moved seven states towards Clinton. This week, we are moving two additional states in her direction, giving her an advantage of 293 electoral votes — 23 more than required to win.
Clinton has taken a lead in North Carolina, a state where she enjoys a large organizational advantage. The white share of the state's voter rolls has fallen from 71.1 percent to 69.7 percent in the last four years. The most recent polling, a New York Times/Siena poll and a Quinnipiac poll showed her up 7 points and 4 points respectively. North Carolina moves from Toss Up to Lean Democratic. "

DKOS has an intresting good read on NC turning blue.
This is from Sept 2015, but it'll be good to compare the stats on that date, to the end result from today & after Nov 8th.
