NC-PPP: Pretty much a tossup, as usual

[IceSpear]

The 39/51 fav/unfav number for Hillary is pretty terrible two years out from the campaign. This is all before the ads and everything, could it go even lower?

PPP always shows everyone besides Ben Carson (lol) with very low favorability numbers. It's a quirk in their polling I guess.

NC is the Democrat's Pennsylvania. Waste of time.

Ummm, no. Democrats actually carried North Carolina in 2008.

If a Republican won on the level that Obama did in 2008, they would have won Pennsylvania - but they would have already won all closer swing states like Ohio and Florida. That's basically what North Carolina is to Dems - superfluous electoral votes. While Dems should and will campaign there, they ultimately don't need it to reach 270.

Well yeah, but I doubt anyone would argue that point.
