All three of the major statewide races in North Carolina are leaning Democrat.
At the moment, barring any major misstep, Cooper is looking very likely to retain the Governorship over Republican challenger Forest. In almost all recent polls, Cooper has led by double digits and Forest does not seem to be making any inroads against Cooper at all.
In the Senate race, Cunningham is maintaining a narrow, but very consistent lead over Tillis, a very bad sign for an incumbent Senator. Tillis had never been particularly popular. While this race is close enough that things can still change, Tillis had better figure out something fast. The Senate ■■■■■■■ off and going home without Covid relief is not going to help him.
Finally, the Presidential race. This races has gone back and forth, including in the last few days, but Biden has had the general advantage, albeit very narrowly.
Another factor is that Cooper’s popularity could help lift both Cunningham and Biden with reverse coattail effect.
Presidentially, North Carolina is a tossup, with the Senate race being lean Democrat and the gubernatorial race being likely Democrat. But Democrats do have a good chance to sweep all three races here.
They kinda bore Democrats as well. Myself included. I’d rather have a more exciting candidate to support … but, most democrats, myself included, are voting to remove Trump. That’s the most important thing.
I think NC will go to Trump. It will be close, but ultimately Trump takes it.
Governorship will stay with Cooper, as you stated.
Tillis is toast. Cunningham is the next Senator. Too bad Tillis hitched his wagon to Trump. It was his downfall.
