North Carolina Senate Race Shows Double-Digit Advantage for Democrats
Breitbart ^ | 30 Mar 2026 | Hannah Knudsen

Posted on 04/03/2026 4:18:38 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Democrats have a double-digit advantage over Republicans in the North Carolina Senate race between former Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper (D) and former Republican National Committee Chair (RNC) Michael Whatley, a survey commissioned by Nexus Strategies for Healthier United found.

The survey asked respondents, “Looking forward to the November election for United States Senator. If the election were held today, would you vote for Roy Cooper, a Democrat, Michael Whatley, a Republican, or Shannon Bray, a Libertarian?”

Across the board, 50 percent chose Democrat Cooper, leaving Whatley nearly 18 points behind with 32.3 percent support. Bray only sees single digit support with four percent support, and 13.8 percent remain undecided.

A majority of Republicans, 71.3 percent, side with Whatley and most Democrats, 87.5 percent, side with Cooper. Unaffiliated voters give the Democrat candidate the advantage. Nearly half of unaffiliated voters, 48.8 percent, choose Cooper, followed by 25.5 percent who support Whatley and 5.1 percent who choose Bray. Another 19.6 percent of unaffiliated voters are unsure of who they would support.

Senate is D+8 right now, NC and ME in the lead, could be D+10 or worse if things go bad in Iran.

NH is a potential R flip if people can stomach Sununu over the Mayor Pete wannabe Chris Pappas

NC is schizoid. The former gov is popular.

We’ll lose this one.

Need to pick up GA.

Too many refuse to see the damage that has been done. Probably be a whole different kind of shock and awe coming when the criminal psychopaths are back holding the reins.

No denying that Cooper is popular there. Any Democrat who can win two statewide races in NC is a force to be reckoned with.

Polling methodology...

The poll surveyed 800 registered North Carolina voters and was conducted March 8-9, 2026 by Nexus Strategies and Strategic Partners Solutions. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.46 percentage points at a 95% confidence interval.

Crock poll.

In Maine it will depend on who the Democrats nominate: 77 years old Governor Mills or Platner. Emerson poll from March 26 shows Platner at 55% and Mills at 28%.

Platner is running as a populist-but he is a hard core leftist. So don’t count Collins out. It will be a nasty campaign.

You need to pick up NH which means holding your nose and voting for Sununu.

What is wrong with the poll. The margin of error sounds about right for the number counted. Even if that margin goes completely for the Republican, he still is well below the percent needed for a win if the statistics don’t change significantly in coming months.

You are right. I am working as an election clerk in Maine for the primary on June 23. The turn out will be quite high I think.

Presidential Election in NC;

2106. Trump 49.83 to 46.13

2020. Trump 49.93 to 48.59

2024. Trump 50.86 to 47.65.

Very schizoid.

And I think Obama won it twice.
