Cooper had his unfavorable numbers double in a year, jumping from 14 percent to 26 percent. The poll found that among unaffiliated voters, McCrory leads Cooper 43 percent to 35 percent with 16 percent undecided.

That's actually a good thing. ABC interviewed a voter last night, and she said she's voting Jill Stein now, she doesn't think Hillary needs her vote to win now ...

I do believe BLM in Charlotte hurt Hillary in the state. I think Zero and H knew it would and did not order it. It was truly “spontaneous” and it took Zero a couple days to shut it down.

Trump has had a 10point lead or more among I’s this entire cycle from day one. I know of no poll, even the cooked ones that have not shown this lead or better... The only way Trump loses is if republicans stay home.

This has been the reality since day one.

Trump will win NC - he will sweep the South, OH and PA.

Of course the MSM says the election is over.

If its really over, why are they saying it in the bag for Hillary?

Our side said the same thing about Mitt four years ago.

Wait until your chickens hatch and they’re not waiting to find out...

Interesting numbers on Cooper.

He used to be a pretty good guy, a straight-arrow. Cleaned out the DA office (remember Nifong and the Duke Lacrosse scandal?) and turned over a lot of rocks in local police departments, sent the roaches scrambling.

Guess he got corrupted by the system. Happens to a lot of good men. Too bad. I'm particularly disappointed by his refusal to enforce the laws of the state of NC, as required by his job.

Fortunately, McCrory is another good choice. Shown some backbone of late on the bathroom bill, in particular. Nice to see, for a change.

Those three states plus Romneyland should put us over the top. PA is really the key, a PA win and Hillary needs to run the table to win.

Well, FOX just said Hillary would win here in NC. I doubt it, other than in Chapel Hill. Nothing but Trump signs here everywhere.
