NC-Civitas: Romney hits 50%, up 5

[Miles]

Well, its Civitas, though the partisan composition checks out to me.

In any case, poll entered.

Civitas has been favorable to the GOP throughout this cycle, but this is an increase from a late-May poll that had Romney up only 2.

I actually think Civitas is becoming a credible pollster; we'll see if that holds up.

Allegedly  SurveyUSA actually did the polling. They are a topnotch pollster.

Hmm...yeah, SUSA is good.

Do you know anything about N.C.? I highly doubt you truly do. North Carolina is changing so very fast. The main cities are growing non-stop and getting more liberal by the day. The younger voters under the age of 40 are liberal minded.

Is that why the NC same sex marriage ban was upheld 2-1?

Except it wasn't a ban on same-marriage; it was effectively a ban on civil unions or anything else other than marriage between a man and woman.

All the more strength to the argument that NC demographics are not exactly trending left.

There are a lot of socially conservative Dems here that voted for it (like in districts 1 and 7).

Actually, the fastest-growing suburbs, those in Charlotte and  Raleigh, are normally Republican voting, but Amendment 1 did very poorly in those areas. I did some pretty extensive mapping on that.
