Mason-Dixon: Obama by Seven in North Carolina

Mason-Dixon's latest poll shows Obama leading Clinton by 7 points in North Carolina. The poll was conducted this past Monday and Tuesday; Jeremiah Wright's speech at the National Press Club was Monday, so this poll will have captured at least some of the reaction:
