Mitt Romney has taken the lead over President Obama in a North Carolina poll, 48% to 46%

Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling says Mitt Romney has taken the lead over President Obama in a North Carolina poll released this month.

The poll shows Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, leading Obama 48 percent to 46 percent.

"It's a small lead but still significant in that it's the first time we've found Romney ahead in our monthly polling of the state since October," Tom Jensen, director of Public Policy Polling, said in a news release.

A month ago, Romney trailed Obama by 1 percentage point.

Four years ago, Obama claimed North Carolina by just 14,171 votes, out of more than 4.3 million cast for president.

Given Obama's past election history, the potential for voter fraud in North Carolina will be extremely HIGH.

Only Voters Can Hold Obama Accountable for Illegal Amnesty Policy

President Obama’s new amnesty policy regarding illegal aliens violates the law. But there’s probably no route to trump it either in Congress or in court, so the only recourse is for the American people to trump it by electing a new president.

President Obama’s shocking power grab--which I and a colleague predicted he would make in two books that we coauthored--also carries an ominous and profoundly disturbing warning. This president is willing to engage in such a brazen power play only months before he has to stand before us for reelection. Just imagine what he will do if he gets another term, knowing each day of those four years that he will never again have to answer for anything, to anyone.

Five days before the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama proclaimed on television, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” The Constitution forbids any president such sweeping power to fundamentally transform our beloved nation. Now we see proof that he knows this, and so the way he is fulfilling his vow to fundamentally transform this nation is by violating his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

For that reason alone, Americans must vote this November to replace this president.
