Overall, 95% of North Carolina voters are certain they will vote this election. Among those who are certain to vote, 51% prefer Romney, while 48% support Obama.
Romney draws support from 82% of Republicans and 22% of Democrats in North Carolina. Obama earns the support from 76% of voters in his own party. Among voters not affiliated with either political party, it’s Romney 60%, Obama 36%.
Most voters under 40 support the president, while their elders favor Romney.
Forty-five percent (45%) of voters in the state believe if Romney is elected president and Republicans win control of Congress, the U.S. economy will get better. That's not much more confidence than the 41% who believe the same if Obama is reelected and Democrats regain control of Congress. Still, 50% feel the economy will get worse if Obama wins a second term, while just 38% think that if Romney wins the election.
Perhaps that helps explain why voters trust Romney slightly more than Obama – 50% to 47% - to handle the economy, the most important issue this election. The two are nearly tied in North Carolina when it comes to national security issues: 49% trust the former Massachusetts governor more, while 47% have more faith in the incumbent.
