North Carolina is totally becoming the Republicans Pennsylvania. Democrats can compete and win statewide/Senate races, but its going to take a great environment for the Democrats to win the state during a Presidential election.

The poll was taken before McCrory's announcement of a sizable budget surplus in the state and that the state paid off a huge debt to the federal government. I wonder if that would move the needle some.

Gravis>PPP in 2014 in NC.
I put them at even at least in NC and Florida in 2016.

It's fairly well-known in political circles that Gravis is a GOP stooge firm.

Right and PPP (D) isn't a Democratic firm? Yet one is claimed to have much more credibility than the other in NC and other states, yet both firms had a very respectable year and a bad year. 2012/2014. I think we should follow both companies in this case, with Gravis having the most recent results.

That's irrelevant. PPP doesn't try and pose as a non-partisan firm.

Doesn't seem like Gravis' polls are any more different than PPP's. Besides if they were truly partisan, why would they want to show a sitti Republican governor down?

This race is gonna be very close. Cooper may very well end up winning; with or without Clinton coattails in NC.

Yes I agree, but in the spirit of the board I agree we should wait on another poll to confirm this result

Why does any state need to be a symmetrical political equivalent of another state?

I suspect Governor Duke Energy will pull out defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hmm... What are you talking about becoming... NC has always been that way. In fact McCrory is the first republican governor in a very long time.

They were off by 1 point. Harper got it exactly right (Tillis + 2).

Next they will pull out a poll from years prior to try and discredit that. While I can do the same with PPP when they pull out the 2012 good results and point to 2014 NC results that were not up to par compared to Gravis'.

Gravis is a joke. Gravis always forecasts larger Republican leads or smaller Republican losses toward the end than what more respected pollsters show, which tend to be more accurate. The respected outlets weren't correct in 2014 - Gravis was right for once because their usual habit of saying every race is 3-7 points more Republican than what other polls show actually wound up being coincidentally correct this time. There was an institution-wide failure with respect to sampling the electorate in 2014; Gravis' usual, silly antics made them look better in comparison.

One poll in one state. If they have a track record I'm not aware about, then we can talk.

Plenty of more states they were close too, such as Colorado and Iowa. They also were one of the few to show the Maryland Governor race to be close.
