Presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are tied in North Carolina, while Pat McCrory solidifies his position as the gubernatorial frontrunner, according to a pair of polls released today.
A survey by Public Policy Polling found the two presidential candidates tied at 30 percent; Newt Gingrich was in third at 19 percent and Ron Paul tailing at 13 percent. Santorum has cut into Romney’s lead in this state, which PPP attributes to a decline in support for Gingrich.
