Undecided Voters Central in North Carolina Gubernatorial Picks
North Carolina voters face a large undecided bloc a week before the primary shaping the contests between Pat Taylor and Hargrove Bowles in the Democratic race and between Jim Gardner and Jim Holshouser in the Republican field. The High Point Guilford County area shows Bowles favored locally with Gardner-Holshouser a toss-up. Civil rights and local-election dynamics, absentee voting, and a crowded field fuel the uncertainty as campaigns warn that turnout may hinge on this undecided vote.
