But I was told Cunningham was a meh recruit! Turns out he's exactly what Dems needed in NC.

The most horrific thing for Tillis is that no matter what the poll is, he's almost always mired in the very low 40s

The worst sign for Tillis is that Cunningham is almost always at 50 or flirting with it in every poll and it’s only summer.

Even worse is that Cunningham is pretty much matching Biden's share of the vote, 50% vs 51%, meanwhile Tillis is underperforming getting 41% while Trump gets 44%.

Cunningham has just sat in his basement all year with a money printer and coasted on the political environment. Pretty sweet gig. The ads against him are so weak; "Cunningham is best friends with AOC, Pelosi and the Squad!" is such a boring attack that could be levied against any Democratic candidate.

It’s ironic because this is allegedly why Jackson didn’t run because Schumer thought his 100-county tour in 100 days was stupid and he should just be raising money.

Cunningham isn’t leading because he’s "not a meh recruit", he’s leading because he’s running in the midst of a Democratic landslide and his opponent's approvals are trash. People like Jackson and Stein would be leading as well in this environment.

Anyway, skeptical of this margin, but congrats to all of those who called Cunningham being the next Hagan.

These polls look so good, OP cant derail the thread, eventhough he was on last night. Good news for Cunningham

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

This is beginning to manifest into a redux of the 2008 race.

GOP Senator underperforms the top of the ticket and ends up getting steamrolled by a stronger-than-expected challenger, all in a race for the exact same seat.

[Sir Mohamed]

Skeptical of the margin, but Cunningham is favored as we speak. I think this race will end up within 2-3 pts. Definitely a must-win for senate control.

They said Richard Burr ended the curse on the NC Senate seat, but he just kicked the curse over to the OTHER seat.

The margin is definitely exaggerated, but the fact that Tillis so often underperforms Trump in these polls is terrible for him, and suggests that he’d still be quite likely to lose even if it was merely a decent year for Democrats instead of a great year.

[libertpaulian]

Tillis can't seem to make it to 45%, let alone 50%.

[Yoda]

Pretty amazing to think that Cunningham has the same margin in his lead - 9 points - that Mark Kelly does in AZ. I didn't expect that to happen.

[S019]

I'm ready to move this to Lean D, Cunningham is consistently ahead and is close to or over 50% in many polls, Tillis is a clear underdog at this point, but not an overwhelming one.
