Sanders does a little better though, but Kasich kills all:

TNVolunteer is obsessed with declaring that swing states are definitely going to vote for one party or another and won't even be contested this year.

1. The Senate race means more than the 15 electoral votes. Senator Burr is unpopular enough (at least if he can be associated with obstruction of the appointment of a Justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia) to lose.

2. North Carolina is ordinarily about R+4. The last time that a Democrat won it in a close election (2008 bordered on a landslide) was 1976.

If the networks are slow to call North Carolina for the Republican, then North Carolina could be the second-to-last state called for the Republican that night. (The last will of course be Alaska). That's how 2012 was.

If the Democratic nominee for President wins North Carolina, then that nominee is approaching 350 electoral votes, and quite possibly more, with Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, and Missouri in contest.

Basically if Democrats contest the state, Republicans are in deep trouble.

Describe to me a Donald Trump/Deborah Ross voter.

Hillary can beat Trump in NC, this poll is 80% white and 40% 65 and older, completely absurd.

Maybe a Bernie or Bust person? I doubt there are many of those in North Carolina, though. Or anywhere, for that matter.

PPP does North Carolina often.

[henster]

Don't think Hillary is the right fit for NC.

[F_S_USATN]

AA making up 14% of electorate..thats not even close

But Bernie leads Rubio and ties Cruz. As usual, he polls better than Hillary.

And Marco Amnesty Rubio performs the weakest, as usual. 

[Xing]

It's too soon to rule out NC being competitive. I agree that in a very tight election it will go Republican, but it's the Democrats' best chance at playing offense, and expanding the map.

Yeah, the idea that Marco amnesty is the most electable Republican is total BS. The guy supports every free trade deal on earth and is for total open borders + H1B. He would get decimated in crucial states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania.
