Biden Holds Small Edge in North Carolina

A new Monmouth poll in North Carolina finds Joe Biden just ahead of Donald Trump in the presidential race, 47% to 45%.

“Under a likely voter scenario with a somewhat higher level of turnout than 2016, Biden stands at 48% support and Trump is at 46%. The results are an identical 48% to 46% when using a likely voter model with lower turnout. Each of the last three presidential elections were decided by fewer than four percentage points in North Carolina.”

In the U.S. Senate race, Cal Cunningham (D) edges Sen. Thom Tillis (R), 46% to 45%.

Said pollster Patrick Murray: “North Carolina has been in play for each of the last three presidential elections and it is going to be that way again this year, especially with a pivotal Senate race sharing the ballot.”
