Roy Cooper, the Democrat, is a former two-term Governor. He won in 2016 (49.0 to 48.8) and 2020 (51.5 to 47.0) while Trump was winning the state (49.8 to 46.2 in '16 and 49.9 to 48.6 in '20). Democrats haven't won a statewide federal race in North Carolina since 2004. Democrats have high hopes to flip the North Carolina Senate seat next year (based on Cooper's advantages in name recognition and job approval during his two terms as Governor), but Senate races are different from Governor races.

I figured it would be worse, actually.

I can’t remember ever seeing an Emerson College Poll that favored a Republican. Yet the Democrats win the local/state elections somehow in N.C.

[jimfree]

That is a bad number for Cooper, very bad.

Too many Yankee transplants in the tar heel state.

I wanted Lara Trump for the seat in North Carolina.

The Republicans don’t have a candidate yet. I wouldn’t put any stock in this.

You must remember that North Carolina elections are generally pretty tight. Democratic political machines in the larger cities are likely engaging in ballot fraud. The Department of Justice must focus on this issue in both November of this year and in 2026. If cheating can be stopped or at least curtailed, there would be fewer Democratic victories in purple states.

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.

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.

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.
