On the Republican side, all-but presumptive nominee John McCain was the choice of 62 percent, while Mike Huckabee got 24 percent and Ron Paul 3 percent. Ten percent said they didn't know or it was too early to tell.
In the gubernatorial race, Beverly Perdue led by 40 percent, with Richard Moore at 28 percent and 32 percent undecided; while Pat McCrory led by 28 percent, Fred Smith at 12 percent, Bill Graham at 10 percent, Bob Orr at 6 percent and 44 percent undecided.
Elon University's pollsters use live operators and do not screen for likely voters. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.6 percent.
