Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) is surging ahead of former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory in the final stretch before the state’s Senate primary, according to a new poll from The Hill and Emerson College.
In a 14-way primary match-up, Budd tops the field at 43 percent, while McCrory trails in a distant second place at 16 percent. The only other Republican in the race to notch double-digit support is former Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), who sits at about 12 percent support.
The poll suggests that Budd, who once trailed McCrory in early polls, is now the primary’s clear front-runner and is poised to easily win the 30-plus percent of the vote needed to win the GOP Senate nomination outright in the May 17 primary election.
Budd’s lead in the race has expanded significantly over the past month. A similar poll conducted in early April found Budd leading the field with 38 percent support to McCrory’s 22 percent.
Aiding Budd’s chances in the primary is the support of former President Trump, who endorsed him last summer. Sixty-one percent of Republican primary voters said that they are more likely to vote for a candidate who is backed by Trump, while only 14 percent said that his support makes them less likely to vote for a candidate.

GO BUDD/TRUMP
I think the base is growing and get even more frustrated and pissed off with what is going on.
Abbott might be/getting ready to, draft a lawsuit to challenge a SCOTUS decision form 40-50 years ago about forcing schools to let kids in school no matter their legal status. Basically, he’s trying to keep all the illegal kids out. He’s aware of the property tax tsunami, I’m sure.
Every Republican controlled state should be in on that suit when it drops. Sadly, Georgia won’t be one of them if Kemp or Abrams wins.
No relation to Billy Budd.
Pretty solid blowout especially considering McCrory has the name rcognition (ex-Gov) AND, Budd is a relative unknown. The electorate knows when they’re being played y the Rove-RINO azz wipes; and are burying them.
A mere alias for the “real” Billy Budd named Philip Spencer.
Another RINO taken out by MAGA. Excellent.
McCrory political demise ping.
Perhaps...
That wouldn’t bother me a bit.
As you know, Budd voted to send our tax dollars to Ukraine instead of our own border. I’m not happy with our choices, won’t vote for McCrory but this is making it very difficult. I don’t trust Budd. I was at the Wake Co GOP Covention and Budd was there but elected not to address us. What’s with that?
