North Carolina continues to be a battleground state for presidential candidates Hillary
Clinton and Donald Trump, as Clinton holds a 38-35 percent advantage among likely
voters. As the race enters the last six weeks and the beginning of the critical presidential
debate period, 21% of North Carolina voters report being undecided. These results
suggest that more visits by the candidates and their surrogates and heavy advertising
coverage throughout the state should continue until Election Day.
Likewise, US senate challenger Deborah Ross holds a similar 38-35 percent advantage
over incumbent Republican Richard Burr. In the governor’s race, incumbent Pat
McCrory has a two-point advantage over Democratic challenger Roy Cooper, 41-39
percent. Both of these races should continue to be some of the closest in the nation for
their respective offices.
All races are in the poll’s margin of error (4.43 percent)
