RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) - With one week until the election, polling shows North Carolina’s closely watched Senate race tightening.

In early October, the RealClearPolitics average of polling in the race showed Democrat Cal Cunningham leading incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis (R) by five to six percentage points.

That’s dropped to 1.8 points on average in the final days of the campaign.

“There has been an erosion in Cunningham’s numbers,” said Dr. Andrew Taylor, political analyst at N.C. State University. “It’s hard to attribute it to much other than the scandal surrounding Cunningham.”

Control of the U.S. Senate could hinge on which candidate wins in North Carolina.

Tillis campaigned Tuesday with Vice President Mike Pence, calling attention to Cunningham’s affair which he apologized for earlier this month.

“I’m here with my girlfriend, who also happens to be my wife,” Tillis told a crowd of supporters.

Cal may not be a senator but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Of course, Cunningham’s lead is eroding AFTER 800,000+ mail-in ballots have already been sent out.

NC is odd. It looks like Trump and Tillis will win but Cooper gets to keep his mansion. To me, I can’t see how Cooper is popular due to his coronavirus restrictions. He’s not as bad as Cuomo, Newsom and Whitmer is all what I can say.

More RCP average polls. They are a waste of time.

Start the military prosecution.

As a JAG attorney, he most likely prosecuted cases like he is guilty of doing.

Cooper would not have won except for voter fraud in Durham.

He’s sneaky. I got concerned when Trump did not endorse Forest during his NC rallies.
