Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in North Carolina, with a mere two-point gap between them, according to a new poll from The Washington Post.
The survey indicates that Trump holds 50% support among likely voters, while Harris is backed by 48%. This slim difference falls within the poll’s margin of error, suggesting a highly competitive race in a state considered pivotal for the upcoming election.
Approximately 1% of respondents expressed support for another candidate, while 2% remained undecided, The Washington Post reported.
North Carolina, a key swing state, is expected to play a significant role in determining the outcome of the presidential race. Another survey from East Carolina University reflects a similarly close contest, with Trump leading Harris by two points.
Stein Leads Robinson in Gubernatorial Race
In the state’s gubernatorial race, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein leads Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson by a considerable margin, garnering 54% of the vote compared to Robinson's 38%, according to the poll.
Voter Motivation Remains High
Voter motivation is high, with 80% of registered voters indicating they are "extremely motivated" to participate in the upcoming election. Within this group, 83% of Trump supporters and 81% of Harris supporters expressed strong motivation to vote.
The Washington Post poll, conducted from September 25 to 29, surveyed 1,001 individuals and carries a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
