The poll shows that most of the change is among Democrats.
“Last month Perdue had just a 68-19 lead with them. That figure is now 76-12, and the 15 point increase in her lead among folks in her own party accounts for most of her gain. This may be attributable to her recent endorsement from former opponent Richard Moore.”
“Any Democrat who can keep the Republican lead among white voters under double digits is likely to win statewide in North Carolina,” the pollsters said.
In addition, pollsters add, McCrory’s message of change has been overshadowed by recent “revelations of large amounts of out of state money being spent on his behalf and news of a letter sent to lobbyists to help in raising money for his campaign.”
