Yeah I would think ECU (which is in Wayne, right) would be pro-dem. The deeper into NC you go you find a more conservative base. It doesn't surprise me that your area is pro-McCain.

Im in Wayne County...Not speaking for the whole county though, just my little neck of the woods

LOL @willow!

'I guess it depends on where you are.."

Where are you USAF?

"Obama still is not getting my vote.He's a racist and hates krackahs"

I hear that McCain is ahead with the inbreds in the latest Public Policy Inbred Poll. It is okay that you think he is a racist. I personally think that McCain is an old out of touch moron.

I saw a few posts on where are the supporters for McCain or Obama..I guess it depends on where you are..In the community where I reside there are no Obama signs to be seen anywhere. With that said Im sure I could drive to another community and see no McCain signs.

Joke I heard last night:

Do you know the difference between a flower and a hockey mom?

Answer: One has both male and female reproductive parts, and one's a flower. ZING!

Obama still is not getting my vote.He's a racist and hates krackahs

"I would sure like to know where all these Obama supporters are. I don't know a single person that will vote for him."

Vice versa for me. Other than my old stubborn dad and my bible-beating sister, I don't know a single person voting for Grandpa and the She-Slayer.

Yes sadly, we can expect our taxes to quadruple as a result of the influx. Then they will move on to another place and ruin that. Given what Kay Hagan has done in the State Legislature, only a fool would vote for her. But some people seem to like to be taxed to death. Probably because they stupidly believe someone else will be taxed.

541 a large sample??? Guess I learned something new today.

McCain showed this week that he is unable to handle pressure. He almost ducked out of the debate, lied to Letterman on Wednesday, and he has a ditz for a running mate.

My entire immediate and extended family will be voting for Obama on November 4th. I polled them recently at the family reunion. I have a mix of military veterans and hardcore Republicans in my fam. BTW my family is white. My grandmother who is 90 years old will be casting her vote for Obama.

541 people is a large sample. Some pollsters use less than that for whole states!

I think a few hundred people is a reasonable sample from a single county, but I'm no statistician. Wake County moving heavily Democrat is fairly significant; it's the most conservative of the 3 counties that make up the Triangle.

It's because of all the Yamn Dankees that have moved in. I'm educated, I'm voting for McCain.

I would sure like to know where all these Obama supporters are. I don't know a single person that will vote for him.

Nothing against polls but is 541 people a good respresntation of Wake County?

Flashlight, If you look closer you will see that Obama is ahead in the newest poll, dated 9/23. The one I posted was released today. I do not know if this was taken before McCain's implosion with Letterman, or him ducking out of the race.

yeah I heard on the good morning america that they are afraid people are saying they are going to vote one way and when it comes down to the nitty gritty....so who really knows... There may be some people rolled over in their graves when this is over for one thing or another!!

interesting for a poll comprised of 50% democrats and 32% republicans...looks like this poll split right along party lines of those polled with a fairly even split with the independants

http://www.pollster.com/polls/nc/08-nc-pres-ge-mvo.php

Most polls are showing Obama and McCain neck and neck.

I wonder into the near future this will qualify NC as a "purple" state in future national elections...

"That's the first time anyone has thanked God for the Triad."

LOL

Upon closer review, God was not mentioned in that "right" post. Shocking.

That's the first time anyone has thanked God for the Triad.

Thank goodness the Triad, Piedmont and mountain counties offset The Triangle and N.E. coastal plain with Charlotte and the S.E. counties in the middle.

If you click on the link you will see who supports who. Obama is strong with men and women in the Triangle...

LOL @ YR3...

"Well this isn't unbelievable considering the fact that (I'm not trying to sound elitist) Wake County is highly educated and has a higher than average income level."

Right. Play the "highly educated" card. The people of Wake County in 2004 elected George Bush, the dumbest president in the history of the USA!

wow, this comes as a surprise to me

Even Nader is ahead of McCain in Durham.

Barack is up by 98% in Durham.

Well this isn't unbelievable considering the fact that (I'm not trying to sound elitist) Wake County is highly educated and has a higher than average income level.

Wonder what the numbers look like Durham County? Durham has traditionally been a democratic party stronghold in the state.

Meh,

The Triangle has never been this excited about a ticket in a long while. Obama is up by 17 points! Unbelievable. I cannot wait to cast my vote!

The Triangle area in general usually winds up being a bit blue in a sea of red.

Some theorize that it has to do with higher levels of education in the area, but I think that's just people patting on another on the backs, in some cases. ;)
