PPP in NC

PPP has a poll out tonight showing NC dead even, 46-46. PPP is an up-and-down pollster. Sometimes right on the money (WI and NC in the primary spring to mind as high points), sometimes way off (I think I recall they showed Obama winning PA in the primary). So it is hard to figure what to think of this particular reading. I still think NC is a longshot but this certainly ain’t bad news. If NC is close, Obama is likely winning in VA right now. One piece of interesting supporting evidence for this poll is that Rasmussen has a poll out tonight showing McCain only ahead by 6 in SOUTH Carolina. We’ll see what other pollsters say in the days to come.
