According to the ECU\u200d Center for Survey Research, the Harris-Tim Walz \u200cticket leads Trump-J.D. Vance by 48% to 47%, with only 3% of \u200bvoters undecided. The poll\u2062 suggests that selecting Harris as the Democratic candidate has considerably increased the competitiveness of North Carolina, which\u2064 has previously favored Republican candidates in recent elections. Dr. Peter Francia noted that Harris&#8217;s nomination has changed the landscape of the election, making North Carolina a toss-up state. Since\u200d 1964, only a few Democratic candidates have carried \u200bthe state, and it has been a consistent Republican\u2064 stronghold. Trump has previously won North \u200bCarolina \u2062in 2016 and 2020 and is preparing to campaign in the state again.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris, Trump statistically even in North Carolina: Poll<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1748874\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &ndash; Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-businessman-rick-caruso-takes-slim-lead-in-l-a-mayors-race\/\" title=\"Poll: Businessman Rick Caruso Takes Slim Lead in L.A.

Now, that seems significantly less certain. The nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate has moved North Carolina squarely into the category of toss-up states.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the campaign, from Biden to Harris, the Old North State has been lodged with six others as a consensus battleground. The seven states represent 93 electoral college votes among them. Pennsylvania has 19, North Carolina and Georgia 16 each, Michigan 15, Arizona 11, Wisconsin 10 and Nevada six.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is trying to do more than break a four-cycle run in North Carolina. Since Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson carried the state and won the presidency in 1964, the 14 cycles since have had just two others from the party carry the state. And neither Jimmy Carter (1976) or Barack Obama (2008) could do it again four years later, with Carter ultimately becoming a one-term president and Obama surviving the setback to finish eight years in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, scheduled to be in Charlotte on Friday to address the National Fraternal Order of Police, has won the state twice. In 2016 he beat Hillary Clinton 49.8%-46.2% and in 2020 he beat President Joe Biden 49.9%-48.6%. Former President Gerald Ford and Sen. John McCain are the dubious names of the last 60 years he&rsquo;s trying to avoid joining.<\/p>\n<p>On vice president choices, Trump supporters were 96% more likely to vote for him or the selection had no impact; for Harris supporters, 97% said they were more likely to vote for her or the selection had no impact.<\/p>\n<p>On the matter of results accurately reflecting votes cast, 78% chose either &ldquo;a lot of confidence&rdquo; or &ldquo;some confidence.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The poll was conducted Aug. 26-28, the week after the Democratic National Convention. Sampling was of 920 likely voters, and the pollster says confidence level of results is 95%.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/beto-orourke-says-biden-is-really-failing-us-and-democratic-voters-are-unexcited\/\" title=\"Beto O&#039;Rourke says Biden is &#039;really failing us&#039; and &#039;Democratic voters are unexcited&#039;\">tight presidential race<\/a> is of no surprise, nor is the confirmation of separation by gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein against Mark Robinson. The Democratic attorney general began to lead and pull away in the summer, and Tuesday&rsquo;s poll release has him up 47%-41% on the Republican lieutenant governor closely tied to Trump. Undecided is 11%, same as a June poll from ECU.<\/p>\n<p>The poll asked about the most important issue in deciding votes. As has been the case all calendar year, money is the winner. The poll had 30% say inflation and the overall cost of living, and 22% said the economy in general. Abortion was third at 14%, a tick above border security (13%). Health care (4%) led the rest of the responses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1748874\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1748874\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent poll indicates that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are nearly tied in North Carolina, a key battleground state, just days before absentee mail ballots are distributed. The poll shows the Harris-Tim Walz Democratic ticket leading the Trump-J.D. Vance Republican ticket by 48% to 47%, with a margin of error of +\/- 3%. Only 3% of respondents remain undecided, and questions regarding vice presidential choices suggest that voters are not negatively impacted by their selections. Absentee ballots were set to be mailed out on Friday, although a judge&#8217;s ruling may cause delays due to legal challenges from former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Peter Francia, director of the poll at East Carolina University, noted that Harris&#8217;s candidacy has significantly altered the dynamics of the election in North Carolina. Previously thought to lean Republican for a fourth consecutive election cycle under Joe Biden\u2019s candidacy, the state&#8217;s status is now more uncertain with Harris as the Democratic nominee. North Carolina is among seven states considered toss-ups in this election cycle, collectively holding 93 electoral college votes.<\/p>\n<p>Harris aims not only to break a four-cycle trend but also to overcome historical challenges for Democrats in North Carolina since Lyndon B. Johnson won there in 1964; only two other Democrats have succeeded since then\u2014Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama\u2014neither managing to win again four years later.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has previously won North Carolina twice: first against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and then against Joe Biden in 2020. He will be speaking at an event in Charlotte on Friday and seeks to avoid joining past candidates like Gerald Ford and John McCain who lost after winning initially.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding vice presidential selections, both Trump supporters (96%) and Harris supporters (97%) indicated their choices either reinforced their vote or had no effect on it at all. When asked about confidence levels regarding accurate vote representation, 78% expressed either &#8220;a lot&#8221; or &#8220;some&#8221; confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Conducted from August 26-28 following the Democratic National Convention with a sample size of 920 likely voters, this poll boasts a confidence level of results at 95%. The close race is expected; meanwhile gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein leads Mark Robinson by a margin of 47%-41%, consistent with previous polling data showing an undecided rate of around 11%. Economic issues dominate voter concerns: inflation (30%), general economic conditions (22%), followed by abortion (14%) and border security (13%)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/donald-trump-kamala-harris-cnn-poll-sept-2024.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4021,32258,3921,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2337776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris","tag-north-carolina","tag-poll","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/donald-trump-kamala-harris-cnn-poll-sept-2024.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
