No Democratic Presidential candidate has won North Carolina's Electoral Votes since Jimmy Carter's victory more than three decades ago. George W. Bush won 56% of the vote and carried the state by double digits in both Election 2000 and Election 2004. But, the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows that New York Senator Hillary Clinton might be competitive in the Tarheel state during Election 2008.
These results provide one of the more amazing examples of just how difficult the political climate has become for Republicans. President Bush , after winning 56% of the vote just three years ago, gets good or excellent marks from just 38% of North Carolina voters. Forty-six percent (46%) say he is doing a poor job.
Clinton earns 43%-44% of the vote when matched against Giuliani, Thompson, or McCain. That's enough for the former First Lady to be tied with Thompson (44% -44%) and McCain (43% - 43%) while trailing Giuliani by just a single percentage point (44% - 43). She does just a bit better against Mitt Romney, leading the former Governor of Massachusetts 46% to 41%.
