RALEIGH, N.C. — With a week to go until Election Day, Republican Donald Trump has seized control of a tight presidential race in North Carolina, according to an exclusive WRAL News poll released Tuesday.
SurveyUSA polled 659 people statewide Friday through Monday who have already cast their ballots or are likely to vote in the election and found Trump with a 51 to 44 percent lead over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points.

FOX just moved NC from toss-up to lean Dem. Doesn’t make any sense given the recent polling.
“Just turned off Hannity and Newt. Can’t stand the whiney nail-biting. Now, there’s more chatter of late of Trump winning popular but not electoral. Sheesh! I had to turn over to some music!”
No kidding. You can add Laura Ingraham to the list. These two are absolutely two of the ones that have lead us to this moment but for some reason over the last two weeks have started to go wobbly with their insistence on only citing propaganda ministry polls after they are the ones who have taught us for years not to trust the media (although Laura seems to be better this week).
I really believe Trump will win Texas by 1.4 to 1.5 million votes easily
“They show him losing 52-46 with those who have already voted.....”
I’m sorry but I believe even these numbers are inaccurate. Between the higher rep and lower dem and Trump’s rating with Indy’s and Indy’s being such a higher part of NC early voting I believe the early vote is closer to 50-50.
Fox News ‘Decision Desk’ is all over the place. They moved NC from Toss-up to Leaning Democrat. At the same time, they moved FL and NV from Leaning Democrat to Toss-up.
Fox is lagging results, at best. At worst their sampling samples are badly mixed and over-sampling democrats. They had it 47-41 for Clinton over the last week and their results must be either holding or going more her way. That looks totally out of whack with other polls.
Ed Rollins and Pat Caddell were on today and both, who were on opposite sides of the 1980 election, stated that this election has the very same feel in the closing days as that one did. We can only hope!
“But, but, but how can that be? Hillary has NC... She’s going to win (rolling eyes)”
That’s what that fat turd Karl Rove was spewing with Cavuto this morning. Csvuto is also in the tank for Hitlary. We all have to maintain out “long lists” of people we will need to pay back next year.
His internal polling must be showing he is doing good there, as he has not been there, and instead WI, MI
Thanks for the report. Good to know.

That’s a really good point. I noticed on some state poll yesterday that Hillary was leading in the “already voted” (according to the poll) when what has been reported from actual early voting (imperfect though our numbers are) seemed to show a tie or a Trump lead. To me, it shows that these polls are still way off on what the electorate will actually look like. So, if Trump is up 7 in a poll that inaccurately suggests that Hillary is winning early voters by 6, Trump may in fact be up 10-12. Or more. Who knows?
We will deliver Michigan!
If just to get the party started early!
“If just to get the party started early!”
I like it !!!!
Yes I did! They’re a beautiful sight.
Thanks for the welcome! :)
Encouraging but I’m still nervous about NC. No visible support for Hillary where I’m at in Western NC but there’s plenty of other areas I’m not seeing. If Trump wins NC by 7 on November 8 he’s the next POTUS.
If this poll is correct Trump is +23 with Ds. He’s not going to lose NC with that kind of crossover.
Schoolmarm Perino was lecturing the audience a few months ago that "she would never lie" to us and we had to trust the polls--the polls at that time had Nasty in the lead so of course they must be true.
EXCELLENT NEWS FROM NORTH CAROLINA!!!!
Well, I just want the Cubs to win because of Back To The Future II. A year late, but even Doc can’t ALWAYS be right! :)
