Nice. A Hillary 2 point lead in NC means an 8-10 point lead in Virginia.
And it forces the GOP to spend money, time, and resources in a red state that usually Republicans win by double digits. Even Bill Clinton couldn't come close in NC when he won in 2 landslides.
This is all demographics. Clinton is strong among minorities and women. Trump is weak among minorities and women. Unless something changes, it's nearly impossible to win with just the white male vote.
There's a chance but I doubt it. Trump was up against 3 competitors in the NC primaries while Clinton just had one. Looking at the polls in your link it looks like they're just about equal if anything.
Romney won NC and he was a weak candidate while Obama won it in 2008 with historic black voter turnout. With Trump being stronger than Romney then Clinton likely not being able to draw the same turnout as Obama, I don't really see how she can win here.
Clinton beats Trump in Utah and ties in Arizona. If those states are in contention, Trump may not win anything but OK and WV. Still, these polls so far out are pretty worthless. It does make one wonder just what Republicans are thinking in nominating such a bum though.

It's an unsubstantiated statement to say "Trump being stronger than Romney." At this point in 2012, Romney had the nomination sown up.

Another factor to consider is that Romney couldn't draw independents and democrats yet he still won here. Turning NC blue is all about turnout. Clinton only has a chance if she can somehow get the black voter turnout that Obama got, otherwise 2012 showed us that the GOP can win NC with just strong white male support.
