A new poll out today by Rasmussen shows McCain with only a 3 point lead over Senator Obama (48 to 45). By any measure this shows that North Carolina is more than just a state "on the bubble" but is a real swing state this year. The link is provided below:

A good bellweather of Senator Obama's chances will be the US Senate race between Dole and Hagan. If Hagan makes it really close or wins I think this will bode well for Senator Obama's chances of winning North Carolina in the fall.
Similarly, Rasmussen has a poll out today showing Senator Obama within three points of McCain in Virginia (47 McCain to 44 Obama). The link to that poll is provided below:
