PBS NewsHour | North Carolina Up for Grabs as Voter Enthusiasm Wanes | PBS

Duration: 11:38
Program: PBS NewsHour #10457
Broadcast Date: Oct. 2, 2012

In 2008, North Carolina went blue for the first time since 1976, in large part due to a high turnout of African-American voters. But with enthusiasm ebbing over the down economy and unmet expectations among key voting blocs, turnout may be too unpredictable to know which way the state will swing in 2012. Jeffrey Brown reports.
