Zogby International's tracking survey of likely Democratic voters in the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina shows "a convincing lead" for Barack Obama in North Carolina and a race "simply too close to call" in Indiana. In North Carolina, tracking polls on the final day before the primary elections show Obama winning 72% support among nonwhite evangelicals, 75% among nonwhite Protestants, and 73% among nonwhite Catholics. According to Zogby, the African American vote in the North Carolina primary is expected to be about 32%. The North Carolina polls also show white Catholics divided 47% for Obama and 42% for Hillary Clinton -- closer than in many previous primaries, where Clinton has demonstrated considerable support among white Catholics. Also in North Carolina, the tracking polls of likely Democratic voters show Hillary Clinton winning support among white evangelicals (65%) and white Protestants (53%). In Indiana, Obama holds a three-point lead among all Catholics, while Clinton holds a similarly small edge among all Protestants, according to Zogby.
