I’ll admit I’m not well versed on the politics of NC, but I’ve considered it part of the “south” and relatively Pubbie; therefore, have been a bit surprised that the polls have been so close there.
I looked at the congress critters and senators from NC. Both senators (Burr and Tillis) are Pubbies, as is their gov, McCrory. There are 13 congressional districts and only 3 have Dim Reps. I realize that state legislatures often kinda jig the districts for various reasons, but district 4 (includes Chapel Hill) and especially district 12 (includes Charlotte and Greensboro) seem a stretch IMHO.

I don't see NC going to Crooked, and posted the "NC is Clinton's firewall" just to get that thought in mind as the press tries to take down Trump, and the various state polls swing in his favor anyway.
