All Signs Point to a Split Decision Regarding Tuesday's Primary

With less then 24 hours left until the polls open in North Carolina and Indiana, the most recent polling data shows that the Democratic presidential race will more then likely end up as a split decision on Tuesday. According to the Real Clear Politics average of recent major polls, Barack Obama continues to hold his lead in North Carolina, while Hillary Clinton is ahead in Indiana.

Hillary Clinton: 42.2%
Barack Obama: 49.2%
Hillary Clinton: 47.3%
Barack Obama: 41.5%

As you can see it is becoming more and more apparent that the candidates will both celebrate a victory a piece tomorrow night. That said, as we have come to learn this primary season, the polls can, and often will be -- statistically off in terms of the final outcome.
