Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) leads North Carolina Senate Democrat candidate Cal Cunningham, according to a poll released Tuesday.
An East Carolina University (ECU) poll found Tillis leads Cunningham by one point or 46 to 45 percent, and six percent of voters remain undecided. This represents a rise in support for Tillis, as the last ECU survey had Cunningham and Tillis tied at 44 percent.
The poll was conducted after the National File released a report which found that Cunningham was sending lurid text messages to Alrene Guzan Todd, a public relations strategist from California. Cunningham has a wife and two children.
A Monday report from the National File alleged that Cunningham engaged in an illicit affair with an unidentified second woman, citing criminal justice lawyer Erin Brinkman, reportedly a close friend of the woman.
The Cunningham sexting scandal has shaken the North Carolina Senate race.
Cunningham canceled a town hall appearance on Monday.
North Carolina GOP press secretary Tim Wigginton said in a statement on Monday, “Cal Cunningham has been dodging the media since Friday and is now avoiding the people of North Carolina because he doesn’t want to answer for his misconduct.”
“Cunningham owes North Carolinians a full explanation for his extramarital relationship, and he needs to come out of his windowless basement and provide it,” he added.
Joanna Rodriguez, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), told Breitbart News that the North Carolina voters deserve answers regarding Cunningham’s actions.

What seems amazing is that Cunningham has been established as an adulterer and really, it didn’t move the needle all that much in North Carolina.
Still too close to call...
Martha McSally just ended a debate with counterfeit Kelly, the gun grabber. She could use something to untighten that race.
Has Kelly cheated on Gabby?
Come on Tillis! Nice to have a break once in a while. I’m not glad about the adultery but I am glad about the timing of the exposure.
Court martial the lieutenant colonel asap. Announce a trial this week for before election.
I’m surprised. In a party that has convince a nation to accept transgender kids that a little sexting would mean much of anything.
He could do ads or a mailer. I can tell you this Nancy Pelosi and most of the democrats who have been in office for years don’t campaign at all. They don’t even want to talk to their constituents they already have it’s a joke so if he is sidelined by covid why should he not get reelected.
Sleaze is a resume enhancer in Democrat candidates not a liability. Most of the Democrat base apparently approves of adulterous relationships. Goes with thinking there are 200 genders and it’s OK for a young boy to be a catamite and 12 yo girls can have sex with older men and a man can have a period and other biological impossibilities and sexual perversions I guess
The sexts went public ...
Wow. Of course she’s an adulteress, but even so the texts are pretty raw stuff. Plus she looks bat s***t crazy. By her own statements she has other skills that apparently make up for these deficiencies
Is this how women talk to each other?
Because it would never occur to me to speak like that to anyone, friend or not.
I feel confident Tillis is going to win now. Hopefully this depresses Democrats enough that it helps us take down our idiot governor Roy Cooper too.
The scandal just really broke in the media less than a week ago. Give it a little more time for more people to hear about it. It was a tight race anyway so a shift of just 2-3% probably would have tipped it one way or the other. That is starting to happen now. Cunningham has been backed by big money from out of state and he has tried to craft a wholesome image for himself. That is in ruins now.
why is it amazing? dem voters support any POS with a ‘D’ after their name.
