Monmouth University: “Joe Biden and Donald Trump are separated by a negligible 2-point margin among all registered voters in North Carolina according to the Monmouth University Poll, while the U.S. Senate race is even tighter. Gov. Roy Cooper, on the other hand, currently enjoys a large lead in his reelection bid on the back of strong voter approval of his handling of the Covid-19 crisis. Among all registered voters in North Carolina, the race for president stands at 47% for Biden and 45% for Trump. Another 3% support Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian), less than 1% back either Howie Hawkins (Green) or Don Blankenship (Constitution), and 3% are undecided. Voter intent includes 41% who say they are certain to vote for Biden (versus 44% who say they are not at all likely to support the Democrat) and 40% who are certain to support Trump (versus 47% who are not at all likely). Under a likely voter scenario with a somewhat higher level of turnout than 2016, Biden stands at 48% support and Trump is at 46%. The results are an identical 48% to 46% when using a likely voter model with lower turnout. Each of the last three presidential elections were decided by fewer than four percentage points in North Carolina.”
