North Carolina a Toss-up

The presidential race in North Carolina has become a toss-up. An Elon University poll showed that younger voters lean towards President Barrack Obama, older voters lean towards GOP nominee Mitt Romney, white voters lean towards Romney and black voters lean towards President Obama.

Obama has more support from women and Romney has more support from men.

Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod said on a conference call with reporters on Monday the incumbent believes North Carolina is “very much in play.”

“We’ve added money over the last few weeks on television there and we’re going after it,” he said. “We’re going to do everything within our power to win the state of North Carolina.”

Romney was leading polls in the swing state until the last week after the final debate.
