NC-PPP: Clinton and Trump ahead

Wow, I would never have guessed that Trump would have beaten Jeb by that much in a head-to-head in a Southern state, which has proven to be Jeb's strongest region by far this far. Carson's numbers versus Trump are truely impressive. Now, imagine a Carson-Jeb head-to-head lol.

Trump 50
Bush 42

Oh my ----

Do I dare cheer on Bush just to see this happen? The Carson numbers are incredibly disappointing though, but I am hopeful that might just be a regional thing.

Doubtful that it's only regional, as Carson has the lowest unfavorables of all even nationally. Carson and Rubio are basically universally popular among Republican voters for the time being.

Trump is doing well in the south. Reason being - less educated, poorer whites who are more likely to be disaffected look up to Trump more (I'm generalizing, but it is disproportionate).

Though North Carolina is one of the most/more educated states (lately) - especially so for being in the South - though still not at the Level of Colorado, Massachusetts and some others.
