Pretty good numbers for Cooper, since they suggest that he should overperform the Democratic candidate by a decent margin. Horrible numbers for Tillis, though (23-31 approval), and I don't think it's out of the question that he could underperform Trump.

It's hilarious how rarely Republicans have controlled the NC Governor's mansion considering the political nature of the state.

A Trump-Cooper-Cunningham result here wouldn't surpise me.

Likely D race remains Likely D.

Polls are showing that NC, is becoming more of a tossup race at the presidential race

It really helps Democrats that they elect their governors in presidential years. It’s similar with Montana to a certain extent. Pat McCrory would not have lost in 2014 just like Rick Hill would not have lost in 2010.

Demographics indicate the poll is tilted pretty heavily to younger voters and Democrats - don’t think we have ever seen Dems have a six point edge on the registration advantage in a NC election, or young voters to outnumber those over 65. Still, this sample somehow had Trump up 8 on Hillary in 2016 so it’s probably tilted more towards right-leaning indys than to Dems per se.

Regardless, Cooper is in a good spot to overperform the top of the ticket by a few points. Lean D.

It just seems to me like all incumbent govs will be re elected this year because the econony is doing good and they're incumbents. Same goes for Bevin

I never thought about that, but it's true.

Lean D, but a hell of a lot closer to Likely than Toss-Up

[President Johnson]

Lean Democratic, closer to likely, even though the poll is from June. Hopefully Coattails can also win the state for the Democrats at the presidential level and flip the senate seat.
