Pat McCrory is touting a poll from an unusual source.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate's campaign has been showing off the results of a poll by noted Democratic consultant James Carville's Democracy Corps.
The poll of 852 likely voters conducted Aug. 20-26 showed McCrory with a 55 percent favorable rating and Democratic rival Beverly Perdue with 49 percent.
