The gap between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in North Carolina remains the same in the latest tracking poll by Zogby International.
Zogby surveyed 600 likely Democratic primary election voters on May 2-3, and found that Obama was the choice of 48 percent. Clinton was the choice of 39 percent, while 8 percent remained undecided. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
That's the same gap between Zogby's poll released Saturday.

Re: Poll: Obama 48, Clinton 39
I read this today.

Voters have been running from Barack Obama since the Jeremiah Wright scandal erupted. A Zogby poll conducted this week in Indiana ahead of its key primary next Tuesday found that 21% of likely Democratic primary voters said they were less likely to vote for Obama as a result of his former pastor's statements. But why, exactly, are these and other voters fleeing? The answer could make the difference in Obama's chances to win the nomination and to pull out election victory in November. And it could tell us something about the state of racial politics in America.
There is a very small subset of voters who are sympathetic to Wright's expressions of respect for Louis Farakhan, his condemnation of America's 60-year bipartisan approach to Israel and his suspicions about U.S. involvement in the creation of the AIDS virus. The vast majority thinks his views on those issues are at least wrong, if not outright offensive. But what conclusion do those voters draw about Obama as a result? Do they imagine that Obama believes the same things? Or do they think Obama disagrees with them, but question his credibility because of his belated disavowal of the preacher who holds them?

In a survey of 800 likely voters, Rasmussen finds that 58% think Obama has denounced Wright because it's politically convenient, while 30% say he did so because he was outraged (13% say they're not sure).
The question now for Obama is which is worse — people thinking you agree with Wright, or people not believing your high-minded explanations for associating with him.
So the Options are do you not trust Obama because he makes bad decisions, choices, is ill informed and stupid, and couldn't manage the country, or do you not vote for Obama because he is intelligent, calculating, deceptive, scheming, racist, devious elitist, sly and hides his weaknesses and would totally destroy the country and democracy as we now know it?
