Poll: Obama way ahead of Clinton in N.C.
March 26, 2008
Barack Obama is way up in the latest Democratic tracking poll.
A survey by Public Policy Polling showed the presidential candidate with 55 percent to rival Hillary Clinton's 34 percent in North Carolina.
The results came after two high-profile speeches by Obama: One on Iraq in Fayetteville, and another in response to video of his minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, condemning America.
"This 21 point lead is the largest he has shown in any NC polling to date, and an indication that the Wright controversy isn't causing him any long term harm at least in this state," wrote pollster Tom Jensen on his blog.
The automated poll of 673 likely Democratic primary voters was conducted on March 24. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percent. The Democratic polling firm is based in Raleigh.
In the March 17 poll, Obama led 44 to 43.
