Guide Note

Major TV networks called the North Carolina primary for Barack Obama soon after the polls closed. The contest was held on May 6, 2008.

The North Carolina primary is among the last primaries to be held, and is seen as particularly important, given the extended primary fight between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pollsters were predicting that in the Democratic contest, Obama would win by around 7%.
