NC-GOV: Very Close




With polls closed in North Carolina, we have the official first exit poll (from CNN) for the governor's race. Democrat Bev Perdue leads 53%-43% among women. Republican Pat McCrory leads 50%-46% among men. That would translate into a narrow win for Perdue. If, as some say, exit polls tend to have a slight Democratic lean, this one could go down to the wire.

About

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
