Who's Polling Wright In North Carolina?

Not we, insists the Clinton campaign. "Nope," says an Obama spokesman.

But a Republican in North Carolina reports such a poll.

All questions were about the Obama-Wright relationship and whether that made me think more unfavorably about Barack Obama. Then they asked if I was more inclined now to vote for Hillary since this blew up.


The pro-Clinton 527s are operating in Indiana, not North Carolina. Yet. I know the Obama camp is polling regularly in North Carolina and I know they're conducting focus groups. But I do not know whether they've polled the Wright question. Maybe a media organization is doing this? Maybe the North Carolina GOP is testing for another ad?

Anyone else receive a call?
