NC Exits Show Obama Up

Tue, November 04, 2008 - 7:28 PM

The exit polls for North Carolina, just released, show Obama up 51.4 to 47.6. Again, a key caveat here: the exit polls have been badly wrong in the past, especially in close states.

Update: a few interesting numbers from the exit. One in five said race was a factor in their vote. Half of voters said the campaigns contacted them personally, indicating the strength of the voter outreach efforts in the state. Obama appeared to close in the state better. Two-thirds of voters who decided who to vote for between Saturday and today went with Obama.
