Poll: Governor race even


The starting line will be the same for the two candidates in the governor's race, according to the latest survey by Public Policy Polling.

PPP says a survey on May 8-9 of 616 likely voters found that Republican nominee Pat McCrory and Democratic nominee Beverly Perdue were both the choice of 45 percent of those surveyed. The margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points.

The survey also found, though, that McCrory is getting more crossover support than Perdue. McCrory was the choice of 20 percent of self-identified Democrats, while Perdue was the favorite of 14 percent of self-identified Republicans.
