NC-PPP: Cooper (D) holds lead

[/]

North Carolina projects as trouble for the Republican Party. Although the state leans R, Hillary Clinton is at worst tied with any possible Republican opponent. Governor McCrory is down, and I don't see him gaining ground. Even Senator Burr has a shaky lead because it comes with an approval rating in the mid-30s.

Burr is pretty safe, and Hagen reminds voters of Bev Perdue, dems can pickoff other seats aside from NC, without Hagen.

I sincerely hope this is on purpose.^

I'm ecstatic to see a Cooper victory. Thankfully, one looks likely, and as Cooper gains more name recognition and the real election begins, his margin will hopefully increase.
