With Trump Regaining NC Lead, Hillary Unexpectedly Postpones Local Fundraiser "Without Reason" <tr>

If there was a time Hillary needed to make a public appearance in the key battleground state of North Carolina to drum up voter support, it was today, if for no other reason than a just released Elon University poll finding Trump now has a modest 44% advantage among likely voters in the Tar Heel State, with 43% going to Clinton.

According to the poll, most voters felt Trump would be better for rich people, white people and men, while most believe Clinton would be better for poor people, women and minorities. “This election is so tight right now, that small swings of a few points should be expected between now and November,” said Jason Husser, assistant professor of political science at Elon and director of the Elon University Poll. “North Carolina has been extremely important over the last several election cycles with very tight election outcomes. These numbers suggest that will continue to be the case, and both campaigns would do well to continue to focus on the Old North State.”

It's not just the closeness of the poll that makes NC so critical; it's also Trump's recent rebound, which as shown in the following chart from Real Clear Politics has him taking the lead for the first time since late June.

I was in ND two weeks ago and Gary Johnson dominated the radio ads.

You could be right about the migration of NE liberals- but it begs the question why the NE states by losing their liberals are not becoming more conservative to offset the shift.

Are you kidding. Where have you been the last 3 decades? The dems wrote the book on voter fraud. This year it will be rampant.

Wow, we used to play Elon in NAIA and NCAA D2 ball. They were the “Fighting Christians” back in those days. I just read they haven’t used that mascot in 16 years.

Hard to believe they are an “in” school and folks from up North wanting to go there.

Just WOW!

She NEVER had a lead in NC.

I doubt if this slow, sick bitch had the numbers she claimed anywhere.

Hillary and her lawyers are most likely meeting with Paul Combetta.

THAT is why she is a no-show.
.......................
Mr. Combetta better sleep with one eye open or he’ll end up a no-show...PERMANENTLY.

She might have been leading in the polls at this time if the Secret Service Agents hadn’t thrown her in that van like a fat side of beef. God Bless the Secret Service

And the wonderful man who filmed it with his cell phone. He may have single-handedly turned the course of this nation in a positive direction.

Who does everyone working at every one of Hillary’s campaign offices look like some sort of Euro nightclub mutant?

I read a post on this subject on another thread that speculated the reason why she canceled was because no one showed up. If you think about it, that’s better than if she had to cancel because she was sick.

Not sure about why she was a no-show. Chapel Hill is a screaming hotbed of liberals and I am sure it would have been well attended.

BTW, Trump was in Kenansville, NC yesterday, drawing a crowd of over 10,000!!!

Population of Kenansville: 881
