North Carolina Poll: Clinton 42% Trump 42% (GOP Pollster)

This is encouraging since the poll was conducted during all the uproar about HRC's health & a GOP pollster.


RALEIGH – The latest Civitas poll of North Carolina likely voters finds the two major presidential candidates in a dead heat, while Governor Pat McCrory is up two points over Atty. General Roy Cooper in the race for governor.

Civitas President Francis De Luca said, “As we head into the final two months of the election, it’s about as close as it can get in the races for president and governor.”

The full questions with the top responses are below. Cross tabs can be found here.

If the election for President were being held today and you had to make a choice, for whom would you vote?

4/16 5/16 6/16 9/16

37% 39% 40% 42% Donald Trump, the Republican,

49% 36% 42% 42% Hillary Clinton, the Democrat,

— 8% 6% 5% … or Gary Johnson, the Libertarian?

10% 14% 10% 9% Lean/ Undecided

not Ohio. One recent poll had HRC up 7 there. Perhaps Sanders and Warren will sway more young folks her way. Sure hope so.

If the campaign was strapped for cash, I'd you'd have to do it, but it is not.

Pulling out of a state is noticed by the media and it creates a media feedback loop that the campaign is in retreat, and more negative coverage.

Iowa and Ohio are only this bad due to her bad week. If she's still down big during her decent weeks then she'll pull out. But if NC is tied during a week this bad, then I'm liking NC

But Civitas is a right wing think tank funded by Art Pope's family foundation.

Bad people.
