Poll: Trump, GOP Ahead in NC for 2024 Election
Trump and North Carolina Republicans Poised for Victory in 2024 Elections
According to a newly released poll, former President Donald Trump and North Carolina Republicans are on track to win the state’s 2024 elections. The survey, conducted by the John Locke Foundation/Cygnal from March 6-7, reveals that Trump is currently leading Democrat President Joe Biden in the race. If the election were held today, 45.2 percent of likely North Carolina voters would vote for Trump, while only 39.8 percent would support Biden. The poll also shows that GOP congressional candidates are favored over Democrat candidates by nearly 6 points.
Concerns for Biden and Approval for Governor Cooper
These results could spell trouble for Biden, as his approval rating in North Carolina is significantly low. Only 37.5 percent of respondents approve of his job as president, while 58.9 percent disapprove. Additionally, 65.6 percent believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. In contrast, North Carolina Democrat Governor Roy Cooper enjoys a net-positive approval rating among likely voters.
Republican Advantage in State-Level Elections
Republicans also hold an advantage over their Democrat competitors in North Carolina’s state-level elections. The poll shows that GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is leading Democrat Josh Stein by nearly 5 points, while Republican attorney general candidate Dan Bishop is polling ahead of Democrat Jeff Jackson by a slim margin. Republican state legislators are also expected to maintain control of the General Assembly.
Top Issues for North Carolina Voters
The poll sheds light on the top issues for North Carolina voters. Immigration is the most important issue for 25 percent of respondents, followed by the economy and abortion. These findings reflect concerns over the Biden-facilitated border invasion.
According to John Locke Foundation President Donald Bryson, “Biden may be able to win another four years in the White House without North Carolina, but Donald Trump almost certainly cannot.” The poll indicates a strong start for Trump and the potential for increased Republican support in the state.

What potential implications do the poll results have for the 2024 elections, particularly if Trump decides to run for president again
Key state-level elections. In the poll, 48.1 percent of respondents said they would vote for a Republican candidate for the North Carolina State Senate, compared to 42.5 percent support for a Democrat candidate. Similarly, 47.9 percent would vote for a Republican candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives, while 42.7 percent would vote for a Democrat candidate.
This Republican advantage in state-level elections highlights the strong support for conservative policies in North Carolina. It also indicates a potential shift in the state’s political landscape, with more voters leaning towards the Republican party.
Trump’s Continuing Influence
The survey results demonstrate Donald Trump’s continuing influence in North Carolina politics. Despite leaving the presidency, he still holds a significant level of support among voters in the state. His policies and rhetoric resonate with many North Carolinians, making him a formidable force in future elections.
Trump’s popularity within the Republican party also plays a role in the GOP’s advantage in state-level races. His endorsement can significantly boost a candidate’s chances of winning, as seen in recent elections across the country.
Potential Implications for 2024
These poll results have significant implications for the 2024 elections. If Trump decides to run for president again, he would have a strong chance of winning North Carolina, based on the current support observed in the survey. This could potentially contribute to his overall success in securing the Republican nomination and gaining the presidency.
Furthermore, the Republican advantage in state-level elections sets a solid foundation for the party in North Carolina. It could lead to the implementation of conservative policies and strengthen the Republican party’s presence in the state.
Conclusion
The newly released poll reveals a promising outlook for Donald Trump and North Carolina Republicans in the 2024 elections. Trump’s popularity and the Republican advantage in state-level races indicate a potential victory for the GOP in both the presidential and local elections.
However, it is important to note that these results are based on current trends and can fluctuate as the political landscape evolves. The 2024 elections are still far away, and unforeseen events can impact voter preferences.
Nonetheless, these poll results provide valuable insights into the current state of North Carolina politics and the trajectory of future elections. It will be interesting to see how these dynamics unfold in the coming years and if these predictions hold true.
