Perdue 47, McCrory 44, Munger 5


The governor's race remains close.

In a recent poll by SurveyUSA, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue had 47 percent, Republican Pat McCrory had 44 percent and Libertarian Mike Munger had five percent.

Five percent were undecided.

"Perdue's slight advantage is not significant, at this hour. The contest is fluid. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released four weeks ago, Perdue is flat, McCrory is down 2," the pollsters write.

The survey of 655 likely voters was conducted Aug. 9-11. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
