Durham.
47 percent with complete name recognition is very bad.
We say that when it’s a Democrat with those numbers.
Check out how Ted Cruz and Rick Scott — actual *incumbents* — were doing in the polls for the longest time in the run-up to their 2024 Senate elections. If they had been Democrats we’d have been gleefully cackling about how they were toast. Fortunately they ended up winning and doing so rather easily.
Cooper is the clear favorite in the race even if (this being North Carolina) “clear favorite” just means something like a 52-48 end result. I’m guessing that the Cooper campaign isn’t exactly panicking over having merely a small lead at this point.
We will win. Whatley is a great Candidate, an President Trump will come in to campaign.
Nope. The only candidate who had a chance of beating Roy Cooper was Lara Trump. Even there, 50/50 chance.
52-48 or 53-47.
Some Trump voters won't show up because his name is not on the ballot.
Numbers this far out don't mean anything. Heck, numbers a week out don't mean anything!
A new Emerson College Polling national survey of US likely voters finds both former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris with 49% support in the 2024 presidential election.
Voters were asked which presidential candidate they think is more down-to-earth. Half of voters think Harris is more down-to-earth, 43% think Trump is more down-to-earth...(Rolls eyes)

Emerson spews leftist propaganda, like the rest.
“They want to double down on the 20% stuff”
Yes they do but that’s a battle they are going to lose. Gavin Newsom is going to crush those people, and the 20%ers I know will take whatever he gives them and vote for him in 2028.
“As I recall, Tillis was behind in the polling as an incumbent in 2020, and several pollsters called it either a tossup or a D flip.”
This is correct.
But then the married Democrat, who was trying to portray himself as a moderate patriotic type, got caught being a sleazebag when it was revealed that he was “sexting” with a woman (not his wife).
The polls really never showed the Democrat being damaged by that revelation (go figure) even though it came out well before election day, but he did lose the one “poll” that counts the most. Probably Cooper isn’t going to replicate that mistake.
Yep. Right there, he lost the support of independent voters in NC.
So Tillis lucked out in 2020.
Really he's a crappy candidate.
you will be wrong.
This is as close to a sure thing as it gets.
Trump won NC with only 50.86% of the vote. And he did well.
His name won't be on the ballot in 2026 so the Republican candidate has a disadvantage.
You are ALWAYS negative. ou said that President Trump would lose all of last year.
Exactly.
I expected it to be 60-40 considering Emerson’s track record.
He cheated with the late Durham count to get in. He’s one of the biggest scumbags they have had since Jim Hunt although the current bum may outdo him. He would be a shucking Goober Pyle disciple of Schumer in the senate.
North Carolina has had some really bad GOP senators since Jesse Helms.
Gee, I posted something about this and was told I’m a defeatist.
FR is getting bi-polar.
