Beverly Perdue and Pat McCrory are in a dead heat.
According to a recent survey by the conservative Civitas Institute, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee had 43 percent, while McCrory had 41 percent. Libertarian candidate Mike Munger had 2 percent and 14 percent were undecided.
In a May poll by the group, Perdue also led McCrory 43 to 42, with 15 percent undecided. Munger was not included in that poll.
"We have seen very little movement in this race over the past month," said executive director Francis Deluca. "With both candidates focusing a majority of their time on organizing and fundraising rather than active campaigning, the polling remains virtually unchanged."
The poll of 600 likely general election voters was taken June 11-13 by TelOpinion Research of Alexandria, Va. It had a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
Correction: An earlier version of this post misstated McCrory's numbers.

bias poll
This so-called "poll" is without merit. The "institute" is just another arm of the republican party spreading their propaganda. It must not be believed. Any poll with a margin of error over 3 percentage points is not valid. You learn that in any first year Political Science class.
