I was curious about how the sampling on this 608 LV @CarolinaJournal poll compared to voter turnout in previous midterms. The short of it: not bad.
See below 🧵 for more #NCSen analysis:
NEW POLL RESULTS: Dem. Roy Cooper's lead over Rep. Michael Whatley grows to 15.1 points in the race for NC's US Senate Seat.
ALT September 2026 Carolina Journal Poll: Roy Cooper leads Michael Whatley in the U.S. Senate race, 49.2% to 34.1%. Shannon Bray receives 2.9%, Michael Dublin 1.5%, and 12.3% are unsure.
Our 2026 Partisan District Scores rate HD-24 (Nash & Wilson Counties) at D+2.0. Incumbent Rep. Dante Pittman (D) faces GOP challenger Blake Boykin in 1 of the most competitive House races this fall. View all #ncleg #ncga districts at ncfree.org/partisan-district… #ncpol
Our own @AlexBaltzegar spoke with @BusinessNC's @nc_tribune about #NC11 after State Rep. @JenBalkcom secured the GOP nomination. W/ Dem @JamieAgerNC raising over $3 mil. and big national GOP backing expected for Balkcom, this race remains one to watch in November. #ncpol
In our look at NC's most competitive legislative races using our 2026 Partisan District Scores, HD-37 (rated D+0.32) in Wake County is as close as it gets. Incumbent Rep. Erin Paré (R) faces Winn Decker (D) in November. Explore all 170 NC districts at ncfree.org/partisan-district…

Go Canes!
