March 14, 2004--A
Rasmussen Reports survey finds President George W. Bush leading
Massachusetts Senator John F. Kerry 51% to 43% in North Carolina.
Bush won North Carolina handily four years ago and is expected to do the same again this November. However, North Carolina Senator John Edwards has as good a chance as anybody to become John Kerry's running mate. That might make the state more competitive. It is not clear that adding Edwards would add North Carolina's Electoral Votes to the Kerry total.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of all North Carolina voters approve of the way Bush has performed his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) disapprove. On a national basis this time around, the Rasmussen Reports Presidential Election Tracking Poll has found Bush and Kerry virtually even for weeks. Our first wave of state-by-state polling will be released over the next several weeks. In California, Kerry leads by Bush by 9. In Florida, it's Kerry 48% Bush 45%. The telephone survey of 400 Likely Voters in North Carolina was conducted by Rasmussen Reports on March 1-13, 2004. The margin of sampling error for the full Florida sample is +/- 3 percentage points, with a 95% level of confidence. |
