Clinton or Trump?
Burr or Ross?
Cooper or McCrory?

Include more political races if you're so inclined.

I believe it'll be close, but I think Trump would end up carrying the state by a tiny margin.

As for the Governor's race, I'd say it would be a Toss up (unfortunately). However, I expect McCrory to lose Mecklenburg county this time. It's a toss up on whether he'll end up losing Wake too.

New Hanover (as a county) would still be voting red, but I don't think the city of Wilmington would vote for him.

Lenior and Watagua would be interesting to watch. Senior was very close in the Presidential race last time.

Whoever's behind me will be a lucky bird. I'll be voting for whomever has the D beside his/her name.

I think it'll be very close. Both Hillary and Trump should focus plenty of effort on winning NC. Trump may expend some additional effort, however, trying to flip northern, traditionally blue rust belt states, leaving Clinton doing possibly more ground work in NC

I think that's the case already. Clinton has already purchased quite a bit of ad time in all of the swing states (including NC). Trump has purchased none.

Clinton also reportedly has a much better organized campaign. Trump's forte is flying around the country in his plane and giving speeches (all with largely the same content).
