NC-PPP: Trump +2

[Likely Voter]

Enough Johnson voters will come home for Trump in the end. He should win this state.

"If Clinton could win over just half of Sanders fans holding out right now, she'd lead Trump 48/43 in North Carolina"

NC is currently the canary in a coal mine. Clinton has been benefiting from Trump losing support due to obvious reason, but she has a consolidation problem that is hiding under the surface. NC right now is a tossup and that tossup comes down to Bernie supporters. What happens if the race tightens up nationally, then Bernie supporters could become the difference between winning FL, OH, VA and PA. 

This is why Clinton and the Dems are being nice to Bernie and negotiating with him and not calling for him to drop out, etc. They know this is a problem, but one that can probably be fixed by November.   

[Likely Voter]

Many of Sanders' voters in North Carolina were Dixiecrats that wanted to give the finger to Obama and would have voted for TRUMP if the primary was open. These people will never vote for Clinton no matter what ol' Bernie says and does.

Well that has nothing to do with this poll. The issue they are raising is that 1/4 of those with a positive view of Sanders are not willing to support Clinton, or at least not yet. 

The 'Dixiecrats' who voted for Sanders in various Southern primaries probably don't have a positive view of Sanders or Clinton. So comparing primary voters to those who are being polled is comparing apples to oranges.
