Raleigh, N.C. — The race for Governor remains close as neither candidate attracts the majority of voters in their corner yet – so undecided voters will be the swing factor.

Rasmussen Reports surveyed 500 likely voters statewide on Thursday and found Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, a Republican, has a 45 percent to 39 percent edge over Lt. Governor Bev Perdue, a Democrat. Libertarian candidate Michael Munger earns support from 4 percent of North Carolina voters. The poll has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

In March, Perdue had a three-point lead over McCrory.

McCrory is viewed favorably by 56 percent and unfavorably by 29 percent. Perdue’s ratings are 50 percent favorable, 41 percent unfavorable. Munger is less known, earning favorable ratings from 24 percent, unfavorable ratings from 35 percent and 41percent who are not sure.

McCrory and Perdue each won their respective party nominations in Tuesday's primary election.
