Poll: North Carolina Rep. Ted Budd Holds 5 Point Lead over Dem Opponent in Senate Race [Trump Endorsed]
Breitbart ^ | 23 Jun 2022 | NICK GILBERTSON

Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, holds nearly a five percentage point lead over his general election opponent, Democratic nominee Cheri Beasley, according to a Cygnal poll released by the John Locke Foundation Thursday.

The poll asked voters: “If the general election for U.S. Senate was held today, and you had to make a choice, who would you vote for?”

Of the respondents, 45 percent selected Budd, who received President Donald Trump’s backing in the primary, while Beasley, a former chief justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court, garnered 40.3 percent of the response. Green Party candidate Matthew Hoh and Libertarian candidate Shannon Bray each polled under three percent, and eleven percent were undecided.

Budd fared very well in his primary race last month, securing nearly 60 percent of the vote and beating out a crowded field of opponents.

Poll participants were also asked to categorize how “serious of a problem is inflation in the U.S.?”

A whopping 88.4 percent of those surveyed stated it is a “huge problem,” while 8.7 percent said it was a “minor problem,” and only .9 percent said it was not “a problem at all.”

Of respondents, 76.1 percent said they are having a “difficult” time affording gasoline, while 12.4 percent said they are having “neither easy nor difficult” time paying at the pump, and just 11.1 percent said they are easily paying for gas.

The survey also asked respondents about how much responsibility President Joe Biden bears “for the historically high rate of inflation in the U.S.?”

A large portion of respondents (41.1 percent) said Biden is entirely responsible for inflation, while another 36.6 percent believe he is somewhat responsible. Just 19.5 percent asserted he was in no way responsible, and another 2.8 percent

I live in North Carolina and someone’s carpet-bombing the airwaves with ugly anti-Beasley ads. They’re so bad and I think dishonest that I might vote for her for that reason alone.

So you would vote for a Democrat because of basically Mean Tweets?

Partner, she is a Rino.

I can not stand a Rino.

Might as well vote for the DemonRat if it were the case but it is not the case.

The DemonRat party is pulling the rug on themselves.

We can spot a "Giant Sixth Grade Brain" when we see one and the DemonRats are proving it.

Beware the North Carolina rig.

The Pubbies only got the RINO puke that won in 2020 because Cal Cunningham stepped on his own feller.

“Partner, she is a Rino.”

Um, Beasley is not a RINO.

She is the **Democrat** candidate.

I have no idea about the “ugly” ads being run against her, but good for them. When talking about a Democrat, “ugly” == “truthful”.

I won’t vote for.

Indeed Rinos aren’t what the country needs now.

I’d be shocked if it ends up that close. I voted for Budd in the primary.

You are quite correct. Beasley is a well-credentialed leftist Rat who is a former chief justice of the NC Supreme Court who lost a 2020 election squeaker to Pubbie Paul Newby. To say that she is tidally locked philosophically with uber liberal ideology is an understatement, but she has been careful to mask that in her campaign so far. Because she’s Black, Rats are really pushing the identity politics angle hard. Ted Budd needs to campaign hard and force her to take a stand on Biden’s purposeful destruction of the republic and Marxist tyranny so contrasts can be made. He has a lot of work to do.

I hope the supposedly “ugly” ads which are running are helping to educate the voters on what Beasley is really all about.

The fact that any anti-Beasley ads are airing which could remotely be described as effective is surprising enough, and I wonder who is behind them. Hard to believe it would be the usual cowards at the RNC or NRSC.

The customary descriptions from the liberal media are that Democrat attack ads are “hard-hitting, devastating, etc.” while similar Republican ads are “hate-filled, misleading, sure to backfire, etc.” and, when directed against a privileged minority, they are racist too. So we’ll see how this aspect of the campaign plays out.

Budd and his strategists better not pull any punches. There’s no need for lies; telling the truth about Beasley should be devastating enough. The media will surely never do it, so Budd’s ads will have to get that job done.
