Two weeks from Election Day and North Carolina is a dead heat in two critical races.
Joe Biden holds a one-point lead over Donald Trump, according to a new poll by ABC News/Washington Post on Tuesday morning.
Likely voters in the Tar Heel state favor the former Vice President by a 49 percent to 48 percent margin over the President. The Democratic nominee’s narrow lead over the Republican incumbent sits within the survey’s margin of error of 4.5 percentage points.
Biden’s standing is boosted by his support among women, 54 percent of whom support him to Trump’s 43 percent, though that is smaller than his 23-point advantage among women nationally in a recent Post-ABC poll. Men in North Carolina prefer Trump by a 10-point margin; that group splits evenly between the candidates nationwide.
Former President Obama won North Carolina in 2008, but lost the state to Republican nominee Mitt Romney in 2012. Trump took the state in 2016, defeating Hillary Clinton by 3.8 percentage points.
The poll also shows signs of trouble for Sen. Thom Tillis in his race against Cal Cunningham. A total of 49 percent of likely voters still support the Democratic challenger despite Cunningham in hot water over a sexting scandal. Tillis takes 47 percent of the poll, but no real movement since the news of the scandal broke.
The ABC-Post poll was conducted by Langer Research Associates from Oct. 12-17, surveying a random sample of 646 North Carolina likely voters.

Polls aren’t votes.
I seem to remember Dan McCready ready to slaughter Dan Bishop with 3X the money and 4% better polls after the 2016 fiasco and 2 years of campaigning longer than Bishop.
Then he lost by 1%.
I have polling info with Biden down by 8 from an indy internallist.
Correct. More garbage from Gary Langer over at ABC.
No it isn’t. It’s safe according to LS. I’m going with what he says over these liars
Biden would send Section 8 housing and illegal alien gangs to the suburbs but all some suburban women can think about is they don’t like something Trump tweeted.
It’s really hard to believe that Sleazebag Cunningham is polling even as high as 40% after the revelations from weeks ago, given the tremendous beating he’s taking from the unbiased, non-partisan media on a daily basis.... oh, wait.
Nevermind.
It’s just like the vanished (from the media) sexual harassment and other scandals regarding Dementia Joe. As the Karens said then: “We believe his accuser, we know he is guilty, BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER. Our hatred of Trump supersedes any of that.” Same thing in this case. “We know Cunningham is scum, but our hatred of Trump....”.
Get ready for some big-time disappointment from North Carolina in a couple of weeks.
Breitbart said this morning on their radio show that NC is now trending to the president.
The one thing I’m not seeing in early voting in NC are exit polls.
Yet none of them showed up to Biden’s rally in liberal Durham.
At the very same time President Trump had thousands at his rally in Greenville, NC
Yes ummm......no. Trump’s going to win. So is Tillis. I hope Roy Cooper loses but I’m not as sure as I am about the first two races.

Trump will win the Presidency but I am afraid it will only be decided in the courts and perhaps the streets.
I have polling info with Biden down by 8 from an indy internallist.
Count the SIGNS!
Polls and signs sometimes are indicators. Dem heavy Lackawanna County, PA is loaded with Trump signs and pollster has Trump up on Biden 52-44!
Good info, but exit polls tells us for who they voted.
I am sure Biden’s campaigning in the State will do a lot to turn the State Blue, oh wait, Biden has stopped campaigning!
Trend will continue, NC will be won with a solid cushion
