A recent poll from Rasmussen Reports gave Trump a 5-point lead on Harris in the Tar Heel State.
Former President Donald Trump may have received a major boost to his chances in North Carolina on Tuesday, with the latest Rasmussen Reports poll finding the Republican nominee 5 percentage points ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The survey, based on responses of 1,042 likely voters, found that 51 percent of North Carolinians plan to back Trump in the 2024 presidential race, while 46 percent chose Harris. The poll was conducted from October 9 to October 14 by Rasmussen and American Thinker, a conservative online magazine.
The survey gives Trump one of his largest leads in the Tar Heel State, just three weeks out from Election Day. North Carolina has the chance of becoming a tipping-point state in November, and polling overall has found that the state contest is among the closest battles between Harris and Trump this election season.
Voters in the Rasmussen poll indicated that the economy is the No. 1 issue when determining their choice for the Oval Office.
