In North Carolina, Donald Trump leads with 51% of the vote while Kamala Harris is four points behind at 47%. This Napolitan News Service Survey of 780 Likely Voters was conducted before Hurricane Helene ravaged the state.
Initially there was concern over how the race for governor could impact Trump’s performance, but it appears to have little impact at this point.
As North Carolina begins the long road to recovery, it is impossible to know how the devastating impact of the storm could affect the presidential race. The election has likely taken a back seat as individuals try and wrap their minds around what has happened.
Napolitan News surveys ask an initial question to determine the voter preference for each candidate. Then, a follow-up question is asked of uncommitted voters to see which candidate they are leaning towards. The results are then reported “with leaners.”
On the initial ask– the number without leaners– it was Trump 49%, Harris 46%.
Please note this survey was conducted before Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina.
This Napolitan News Service survey of 780 Likely Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 25-27, 2024. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.5.
