Title: NC-Meredith (terrible methodology): Tillis/Cunningham tied, Smith +1
Post by: Pollster on October 15, 2019, 11:00:13 AM
Note that this poll nonsensically included "Someone else" as an option, which is a tactic used by partisan pollsters to dilute the vote share of the incumbent. If anything, this methodology is useful for measuring each candidate's floor, but is not representative of where the race actually stands.

Tillis 33
Cunningham 33
Someone else 17
Don't know 17

Tillis 33
Smith 34
Someone else 16
Don't know 17
