The governor's race remains close.
According to a recent survey by Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beverly Perdue had 42 percent, Republican rival Pat McCrory had 41 percent and Libertarian Mike Munger had five percent.
Twelve percent were undecided.
The numbers match a recent poll by the conservative Civitas Institute, which also showed a tight race.
"These races aren’t likely to see a whole lot of movement until we move into the fall campaign season," said president Dean Debnam in a statement. It’s likely to be a quiet summer."
The automated survey of 1,048 likely voters was held June 26-29. It has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

July 2, 2008 - 4:16pm — ethanperryPolitics often present us with difficult odds. Such is the case in this years Presidential bid, and most certainly in the Governor's race. It would really be nice if things had turned out differently and both major parties had given us better choices.
Things are as they are however, and we'll need to wear respirators to filter the air as we vote. I suspect it will be Purdue for Governor and McCain for President.
