Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Trump Keeps the Edge in North Carolina

October 1, 2024 · 8:00 am ET · Leave a Comment

“North Carolina voters are closely divided in the choice between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Washington Post poll, with no sign that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s scandal-plagued campaign for governor has diminished Republican enthusiasm for the former president.”

“Ahead of Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate, the poll finds that 50% of North Carolina likely voters support Trump, while 48% support Harris. That is within the poll’s error margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points but also similar to Trump’s 1.3-percentage-point victory margin in 2020, the narrowest of any state won by the former president that year.”

A new East Carolina University poll shows Trump ahead 49% to 47%.
