Less than 6 weeks out, less than that with early voting. Status? (Charlotte: stats, county)

Latest polls have Trump making a strong play for NC and the current NC governor barely within the margin of error.

How do you think both will play out, along with the overall legislature.....strictly speaking of NC votes?

Any last minute surprises?

The Charlotte riots undoubtedly gave both a boost

I have already requested my absentee ballot. I plan on voting for Trump and I think he will take the state.

Stats I have seen show Dems absentee ballots in Wake County outnumber Rs by about 12.3%. 42.4% D, 0.2% Libertarian, 30.1% R, 27.2% Unaffiliated.

Yep. Just saw that on the news. How is the state legislature looking?

[Tarheelhombre]

I rarely see state legislature polls

Five Thirty-Eight just shifted North Carolina back to Light Blue, with a similar trend among other swing states late this week.

Many are unopposed, given the gerrymandering.

Yes, it will be almost impossible to change Republican control of the state legislature this year. It will take a wave election in 2020 that will redraw districts after the census.
