A second poll from the Tar Heel state in as many days confirms that Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump is in fact leading his Democratic counterpart Hillary Rodham Clinton.
This poll, from The Trafalgar Group (TFG), shows Trump up by about five percent over Clinton—specifically, a lead of 4.97 percent—outside the survey’s 2.88 percent margin of error. Trump, at 49.13 percent, leads Clinton at 44.16 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson gets 3.59 percent and the Green Party’s Dr. Jill Stein gets 0.49 percent, while 2.63 percent are undecided. The survey was conducted from Oct. 27 through Nov. 1, with a sample size of 1,154 likely voters. That means the poll was partially conducted before FBI director James Comey announced he was reopening the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
Pollster Robert Cahaly, TFG’s senior strategist, said that he thinks there is a Brexit-like undercurrent of Trump support in key battleground states.
“It’s our belief that there is a significant ‘Brexit’ type undercurrent of support for Trump that many polls are not capturing,” Cahaly said. “We have been asking a second ballot test question to measure who survey takers believe most their neighbors will vote for. In our Ohio, Florida, and this North Carolina survey we find a consistent pattern of Clinton support dropping 5-6% while Trump support increases 4.5-5.5% for this question.”

Look how on fire she is. Very cute...
I see the Neanderthals the Dems have showing up at their events, and I look at our folks. I’ll take our folks any day.
You can take that to the bank!
Music to my ears. (But we all surmised this.)
Stick a fork in her, she is done.
Without 95% of the black vote there is no way Clinton can win North Carolina or Florida. If she gets less than 85% of the black vote in Virginia, Trump will win there.
The media is still reporting Hillary ahead there, ignoring polls and using averages from before Comey’s letter. Crooked Hillary and her flying monkey media.
Those are free thinking Americans who have not been brainwashed by the Marxist media.
Pray America wakes
No way, with the AA vote down for Hillary, was Trump going to lose NC.
Look at what happened in NC......
I was polled on November 1st in NC. I don’t think this was the poll though.
Glad to finally read of someone who supports Trump actually being polled. (You do support Trump, right? Don’t want to assume wrongly.)
NC continues to be listed as THE KEY STATE in this election. I don’t know that I buy that - there are a LOT of key states - but the Lamestream media, including Fox news, continues to show Clinton leading Trump in NC.
If this poll is accurate and I think it is, then maybe even the Clinton vote fraud machine which we know is going to be in full power mode - cannot win in NC!
From looking at the polls and the trends I think they are going to decide the election.
But I am hopeful the other Firewall states are in play as well.
Probably correct (about Colorado and New Hampshire).
I don’t feel safe at an even 270. I figure we’ve got Romney’s states plus OH, IA in the bag with a good shot at FL and NV. That’s 265. CO, MN, WI, PA, MI, VA. Just one of those will do it.
