La Caroline du nord redevient un "swing state"


Les "swing states" sont indiqués en jaune sur la carte. Une bonne nouvelle pour le clan Obama qui ne se croyait pas en mesure de répéter l'exploit de 2008 en Caroline du nord. Si les sondages au plan national place les deux candidats à égalité, Obama mène dans la grande majorité des "swing states". C'est là que se jouera le sort de l'élection...

 "CNN Monday turned the important battleground state of North Carolina from "lean Romney" to true "toss up" on its Electoral Map, following the release of a new CNN/Time Magazine/ORC International poll that indicated the race for the state's 15 electoral votes was a dead heat. The move by CNN comes one week before the Democratic convention kicks off in Charlotte, North Carolina.

 The poll, released earlier on Monday, indicates it's all knotted up in the Tar Heel state, with 48% of likely voters supporting Republican challenger Mitt Romney and 47% backing President Barack Obama.

Other polls from other organizations conducted earlier this summer also indicated a close contest in North Carolina.

 "It's hard to imagine the perfect storm that helped then Sen. Obama narrowly carry the state in 2008. But at the moment the polling shows a tossup, and both campaigns say their numbers are in the same ballpark as our survey," says CNN Chief National Correspondent John King. "That, plus all the attention Democrats are about to give the state, gives us ample reason to move North Carolina to tossup."

"It's a must win for Romney, and even top Obama aides privately say it is a lot harder to see it going blue this time. But Romney can't take it for granted and the poll backs up what we see in the recent ad wars in North Carolina: It's a tight battleground," adds King.
