A new Public Policy Polling (D) survey in North Carolina (711 voters, 11/9-11, +/-3.7%) shows that President Obama's job performance score has pulled back even, with 47 percent approving and 47 percent disapproving. That's an improvement from a 45/49 split in October. Asked for a letter grade, Obama gets slightly more "A's" than "F's," 32 percent to 29 percent.

Meanwhile, a Civitas poll of the Tarheel State also shows improved numbers not just for Obama, but new Gov. Bev Perdue (D). The president's job approval rating climbs to 50 percent, up from 44 percent. Perdue, who had been considered one of the nation's least popular governors, saw her net approval rating jump 28 points, though it's still an upside-down figure: 43 percent approve, 49 percent disapprove. Only 29 percent had approved of her job performance in October.
