North Carolina Looks Like a Battleground Again

January 9, 2019 · 11:15 am ET · Leave a Comment

A new Public Policy Polling survey in North Carolina finds the state is likely to once again be a key battleground for president next year. Voters in the state are closely divided on President Trump but split narrowly against him, with 46% approving of the job he’s doing to 50% who disapprove.

“In match ups against 6 possible Democratic opponents next year, Trump consistently polls in the 44-46% range against all of them. The Democrats poll at anywhere from 45% to 49% with their individual levels of support running roughly in line with their levels of name recognition.”
