With just days before the US presidential election, opinion polls indicate growing support for Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama. Even traditionally conservative North Carolina is now considered a "toss up," where both Obama and Republican nominee Senator John Mcain are virtually tied in the polls. This is a surprising development in a traditionally conservative state where in 2004 President George W. Bush won by 12 percentage points.
VOA's Brian Padden reports from North Carolina that the state is now in play because of the economy, an energized Democratic organization, and Republican neglect.
