Today, Pollster.com is showing North Carolina as a "McCain/Obama Toss-up State" in its national presidential match-up. Currently, the North Carolina poll aggregate at Pollster has McCain - 45.6%, Obama - 43.8% and Barr - 2.5%.
The good news (for Obama supporters) is that national electoral map currently shows a comfortable lead for Democrats (284) vs. Republicans (154). For another national electoral projection, see FiveThirtyEight.com.
The media loves a close race and is working hard to project this as one. But remember, when the teevee tells you this election is so, so close, they're referring to the popular vote count, not the electoral vote count. We all know which of these counts is actually used to elect presidents.
8/13/08 Update: Pollster has updated their North Carolina numbers. McCain now leads in the state by 48.2% to Obama's 44.6%. North Carolina still listed as a Toss Up State.
