OBAMA set to win even a Republican State

North Carolina is a state know to be voters of Republican presidential canditates. The state now seems to have second thoughts as Obama has a higher rating than McCain. Will this be the end of the Republican reign in NC?
North Carolina - no matter which way it votes on 4 November - is already an electoral surprise.
George W Bush won the state in 2004 by 12% - a huge margin. North Carolinians have not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1976.
Yet, if we believe the polls, Barack Obama is now running neck and neck with John McCain. Pollster.com, which calculates an average of local polling results, puts Mr Obama at 47.9% and Mr McCain at 47.2%.
Those numbers strongly suggest that the Democrats have gained a lot of support in North Carolina. And they are forcing the Republicans to spend time and money defending a state where many assumed McCain would win easily.
UPDATED polls: (October 14, 2008)
Obama : 48.5
Mccain: 47.1
