Barack Obama is in the lead in another poll.
According to a recent survey by the conservative Citivas Institute, the Democratic presidential candidate had 48 percent, Republican John McCain had 43 percent and Libertarian Bob Barr had two percent.
"The amount of money Obama is spending on television in North Carolina is finally paying dividends," said executive director Francis De Luca. "Obama's ability to capitalize on the financial crisis and to outspend McCain in North Carolina gives him a strong advantage."
De Luca said Obama is getting 37 percent of the white vote, what it considers the threshold for him to win North Carolina.
The survey of 600 likely voters was conducted Oct. 6-8 by TelOpinion Research of Alexandria, Va. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
