Pat McCrory is ahead in a new poll.
According to a survey by Rasmussen Reports, the Republican gubernatorial candidate had 51 percent while Democrat Beverly Perdue had 47 percent. Libertarian Mike Munger, the only third-party candidate to appear on the ballot, was not included.
"This is the second straight poll in which the Republican has led his Democratic opponent by four percentage points, after trailing by six in mid-August," the pollsters write.
The survey of 700 likely voters was conducted on Oct. 23, 2008. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points.
