SurveyUSA: Cunningham +10

[Bootes Void]

Cunningham got a sexting bump. did they poll presidential as well?

[Storr]

Thank god that 43-42 Peters poll dropped so we now have a new senate race to have agita about

Looks like Gary Peters is going to need to cheat on his wife in order to win

Is riding on a motorcycle with a woman who isn't your wife considered cheating?

Yes. Apparently they're releasing more NC results within the next 48 hours.

Lol this is going to be to NC what the body slam was to MT

Did the bodyslam actually help Gianforte lol?

Suffice it to say that the lowest common denominator isn’t a phenomenon unique to NC.

(FTR, I think this poll is BS, but I could see this "scandal" having a similar "effect" on the race, with overreactions and predictions of said politician's downfall being out of all proportion with actual reality as few voters' minds were truly changed).

I guess this is the Trump era, huh. I don't buy Cunningham being up by this much, but the idea that this race would become Lean Tillis overnight was always silly.

They are embargoing it (until tomorrow I assume).

I was willing to dismiss this as an outlier too and am not going to be too confident about it all for a while yet, but there's this to consider:

It's plausible that the name ID boost from the scandal more than outweighs the already in-the-know voters switching their preference on the basis of it.

I don't think it would help Peters, lol.

Are you kidding? Peters is historically sexy too, especially since the beard bump.

Cal Cunningham is an attractive, masculine military veteran with a charming yet subtle Southern accent.

Gary Peters looks like the frumpy, middle-aged virgin in a Judd Apatow movie.
 
The latter having an affair would have vastly different optics.

Excuse me?

[Progressive Pessimist]

I guess there's a reason why you can't spell Cunningham without "cunning."

I see this as more of an overwhelming rejection of Tillis. I also wondered if Republicans trying to make this election about a private affair rather than COVID and how it's upended North Carolinian lives would backfire.

Sorry but Cunningham going up in every poll after the scandal is objectively hilarious.
