GOP Governor's race tracking poll
If you belive in polls PPP says McCrory is ahead among GOP contenders for governor. However, there is a big caveat for McCrory:
What's interesting about McCrory's rise is that he still hasn't gained any support outside his base. His increase is attributable to rising support in the Charlotte area. Last month his standing in his home region was 44%. Now it's up to 57%. He's received an amazing amount of media coverage locally as he's contemplated the campaign and that attention is improving his numbers.
