12. Obama is ahead in North Carolina

Sun Oct 21, 2012, 01:26 PM

Oct 2012

I don't know what Chuck Todd and the media sees for Romney being ahead in North Carolina at this point? Here are some up to date stats in early voting:

Dems 50.2%
Rep 31.2%

White 65.6%
Black 29.%
other 4.5%

Total vote: 457,825 people

It looks like 2008. The African American vote is 29% of the electorate so far which is higher than 2008. The white vote is lower at this stage than 2008. The total African American registration is over 100,000 than in 2008. Those are new voters. If you were going by actual voters, Romney would be behind.

Yes, NC voters can update their registration info when they go to early vote 10/18 - 11/3 struggle4progress Oct 2012 #33

I know it's only true for early voters. LisaL Oct 2012 #17

He should vote in FL. O has a better chance of winning in FL than in NC. LonePirate Oct 2012 #40

I would pick FL. It might be closer than NC. LisaL Oct 2012 #41

Go N.C.! GOTV! We can beat these lying, cheating, Republican assholes AzDar Oct 2012 #24

The dates are incorrect on that chart for 2012. MineralMan Oct 2012 #25

Looks like the table somehow reverted/switched to the date progression on the 2008 chart. Zorra Oct 2012 #31

Thanks for the good news, kpete. Cool chart! nt Zorra Oct 2012 #27

These are votes the repugs can't steal or flip to Rmoney. kimbutgar Oct 2012 #28

Impressive lalalu Oct 2012 #29

Romney is toasted. GOTV ... beats all the out-of-touch pollsters JackN415 Oct 2012 #34

These numbers do not impress me. We need a much bigger lead to counter ED voting by Rs. LonePirate Oct 2012 #35

You have a point Sebass1271 Oct 2012 #36

Depends. If both campaigns are emphasizing early voting, LisaL Oct 2012 #42
