Poll Watch: Obama Still Leads; Moore Loses Ground

Two new show Barack Obama with a large lead over Hillary Clinton in North Carolina.

A Rasmussen poll released over the weekend shows Obama leading Clinton in the state, 56 percent to 33 percent. That 23-point lead for Obama is a big jump from the 7-point lead he had in the Rasmussen poll a month ago.

The new Democratic tracking poll by Public Policy Polling, released today, shows nearly identical numbers in the presidential race. PPP has Obama leading Clinton 54 to 33 in North Carolina — similar numbers to last week.

PPP also has Beverly Perdue regaining her lead in the Democratic primary for governor. Today’s numbers have Perdue leading Richard Moore 41 to 33. A week ago, Moore had closed the gap with a big March comeback, but Tom Jensen writes on the PPP blog that Perdue has made gains with black voters over the last week by touting her endorsement of Obama.

PPP also says that Kay Hagan is leading Jim Neal in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, but undecided voters continue to dominate that race.

Full results of the PPP tracking poll can be found here (PDF).
