Raleigh.- The state’s registered voters are clearly divided ahead of the presidential election.
This is according to a new SurveyUSA poll, conducted by High Point University and the results of which were released on August 22.
The survey shows that 46% of registered voters in North Carolina support Democrat Kamala Harris.
While 45% support former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump.
While 8% said they were still undecided and the remaining 1% said they would vote for another candidate.
Regionally, Trump leads by 18 points in western North Carolina in the presidential election and has a 2-point advantage in the state’s south and coast, according to the poll.
While Harris wins by 5 points in the Raleigh area and by 4 in Greensboro.
In Charlotte, however, voters are evenly split.
Harris leads among confident voters
Among voters who say they are sure which candidate they will vote for in the November election, Harris leads by 2 percentage points with 48% of the vote, compared to 46% for Trump.
However, among those who say they are likely to vote in the next presidential election, Trump leads by 10 percentage points at 50%.
According to the poll results, if you combine certain and likely voters — as SurveyUSA traditionally defines “likely voters” — the race is tied.
This is because Harris receives 47% just like Trump.
