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.
