Many of us in NC are getting pretty pissed off with the pollsters and pundits. The Obama ground game here is FABULOUS!
The Dems have registered over 100,000 MORE NEW voters--bringing the advantage up to 806,942 MORE DEMS than Repubs registered in the state of North Carolina as of today.
AND the DEMS are ADDING advantage on a daily basis by virtue of the right to register AND vote same day
at early voting locations across the state.
Take a look at yesterday:
Voter Registration as of 10/23/2012 Democratic: 2,843,490 Republican: 2,037,725 Libertarian: 18,513
Unaffiliated: 1,695,271 Total: 6,594,999
(I posted these numbers in this thread yesterday: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=168818
Now look at today:
Voter Registration as of 10/24/2012 Democratic: 2,845,559 Republican: 2,038,617 Libertarian: 18,564
Unaffiliated: 1,696,215 Total: 6,598,955

Here are the differences between the numbers between yesterday 10/23/2012 and today 10/24/2012:
Democratic: + 2069 Republican: + 892 Libertarian: 51 Unaffiliated: 944 Total: +3956
Broken out as a % of new registrations: Democratic 52.3% Republican 22.5% Libertarian: 1.3% Unaffiliated: 23.9%
Having been watching these registration numbers changing over time during this election cycle, I have to believe that new Democrats are not registering as Democrats so they can vote for Romney! This election is ALL about GOTV, and the Obama team in NC is doing heroic work to make this happen.
So, please, keep your hopes up...everybody is working very hard...and I believe we're going to turn NC BLUE AGAIN!!
