Raleigh, N.C. — Republicans John McCain and Pat McCrory are edging ahead of their Democratic rivals among North Carolina voters in the presidential and gubernatorial races, according to a new WRAL News poll.


Polling firm Rasmussen Reports surveyed 700 likely voters statewide on Thursday and found North Carolina trending toward its Republican tradition. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.


McCain erased the lead Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama held in recent WRAL News polls and now hold a 50 to 48 percent lead in the latest poll.


McCain holds a 17-point lead among independents statewide, according to the poll. He also leads among male voters by a 59 to 39 percent margin, compared with Obama's 55 to 43 percent lead among women.


The economy remains the top concern among North Carolina voters – 43 percent of respondents listed it as the issue most likely to influence them at the polls – and the majority of those surveyed said McCain was better equipped to handle economic issues.


In the gubernatorial race, McCrory leads Democratic candidate Beverly Perdue by 51 to 47 percent, according to the poll.


McCrory holds a 20-point lead among male voters, compared with Perdue's 8-point margin among women. He also is backed by almost one-fifth of Democratic voters and a majority of independents, according to the poll.

"ore conceded because he was the bigger man, IMO, and knew that he couldn't take to task Cheney and Bush's buddies on the Supreme Court."

I respectfully disagree on this point - yes Gore was the bigger man, but it wasn't that he didn't think he could take on Cheney and Bush. It was that he didn't want to drag the country through the mess that would ensue. He did what he thought best for the country. Unlike some who currently want to drag the country through the muck under the banner of 'Country First'.

So by insisting everyone show ID to vote, she'd actually be committing voter fraud.

>>You have to have ID or your registration card if asked in this state.<<


Not according to your own election officials.
