The lead in North Carolina? This is Bizarro world stuff. Via Taegan.
A new Public Policy Polling survey in North Carolina finds Sen. Barack Obama has taken the lead over Sen. John McCain for the first time, 47% to 45%.
Key finding: "Over the last year there's been a strong relationship between the number of North Carolinians listing the economy as their biggest concern, and Obama's standing in the polls. In January when just 39% of voters said it was their biggest issue John McCain led by 14 points. In August with it up to 48% Obama trailed by just three. Last week with 58% listing it number one the race was tied, and now with the number up to a record 64% Obama has taken a small lead. He is up 55-38 among respondents citing the economy as their main concern."
Also not helping McCain: A dramatic decline in approval of running mate Sarah Palin.

Did you see the difference in Obamas response to the banking crisis, calm and presidential, McCain nasty as usual, blaming Obama????
too bad McCain had made a speech this am taking credit for the bailout.
Found this bit interesting: In the 704 area code, which includes Charlotte (red, and a banking center) in the previous tied poll this area went 49-43 McCain. Now it's 49-44 Obama. (Interim includes debate, banking crisis, and Obama visit.) Also, the 46-65 age group went from 50-42 McCain to 47-46 Obama. W00+!
That's really an interesting tidbit, Jane. Thank you.
