In the battleground state of North Carolina, Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney appears to have a clear advantage. In a series of recently released polls, one has Romney leading President Obama by as much as six points. According to an article in The Latin Times, Romney has a lead there becase of two key reasons. The first is that he is up 63/33 with white voters and the second is that he is leading 54/40 with independents. Both of these groups make up a significant population in the state, which translates into Romney leading Obama in the polls.

However, the poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections did note that voters in North Carolina think that Obama will win the general election, regardless of which candidate that they elect as a state.
