John McCain is ahead by two points in North Carolina.

In a recent survey by Rasmussen Reports for WRAL, the presumptive Republican nominee had 45 percent, while Democratic nominee Barack Obama had 43 percent. Six percent backed "Other" and five percent were not sure.

So far, only Libertarian Bob Barr will also be on the presidential ballot in North Carolina, although he was not named in the poll. A previous survey by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling showed Barr drawing six percent of likely voters.

The survey of 500 likely voters was done Tuesday. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Bob Barr will be the only Third Party candidate on the NC Ballot because a NC Judge ruled against the Green party and other candidates such as Ralph Nader from being on our ballot!

Here is also another interesting fact! If you were thinking of writing in Ralph Nader or the Nominee from the Green Party and having it count, forget it, because NC does not even count write in votes!

I got this straight from the NC Board of Elections.

In NC, not all voices are heard in our elections because Judges are now determining who will be allowed on our ballot.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL??

Nader is polling at 6 percent nationally despite getting zero coverage by the Main Stream Media.

Will he be allowed to be a part of the debates?
