North Carolina will definitely be a competitive state. Looks like we are also going to be seeing a lot of split ticket voting between president and governor. At this point, the senate race and presidential race seem like toss-ups with the governor being at least Lean D or Likely D. And let's be honest, did we expect anything different?
Well, there's been enough polling now to suggest Trump is holding up really well in NC compared to other 2016 competitive states. Trump doing equally well in NC and Texas is even within the polling range now.
There also seems to be a meaningful trend emerging of R senate and congressional candidates running
behind Trump, which would be the reverse of 2016.
