Hot off the presses. Final S-USA poll of NC:

SurveyUSA Election Poll #13844

Black Voters (32% of the electorate)
Clinton 12%
Obama 85%

White Voters (64% of the electorate)
Clinton 62%
Obama 32%

-------------------

Conservative Voters (18% of the electorate)
Clinton 49%
Obama 40%

Moderate Voters (40% of the electorate)
Clinton 52%
Obama 44%

Liberal Voters (19% of the electorate)
Clinton 41%
Obama 57%

---------------

It's all racial bloc voting. The demographic numbers make it impossible for Clinton (or any white candidate) to win the NC Democratic Primary against a African American opponent. Those same numbers make it impossible for a Democratic African American nominee to win the state in November.

It's hard to paint a more vivid polling picture of the coalition the Dems will likely take to the November election: African Americans & extreme liberals.
