PPP: HRC leading Early voting 63-37 in North Carolina

[book_worm]

Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's newest North Carolina poll finds that Democrats are
running up large leads already during early voting. Among those who say they've
already voted, 63% say they cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton to only 37% for
Donald Trump. Interestingly, less than half of a percent say they voted for Gary
Johnson, which could be a sign that he won't end up getting that much more
support than a normal third party candidate. The big Democratic advantage
holds down ballot as well. Roy Cooper leads Pat McCrory 61-33 for Governor
among those who have already voted, with Libertarian Lon Cecil at 1%. And
Deborah Ross leads Richard Burr 52-34 for Senate, with Libertarian Sean Haugh
at 7% among those who say they have already cast their ballots.
“It’s already clear that Democrats will go into Election Day with a substantial
advantage in North Carolina,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy
Polling. “It’s just going to be a question of whether Republicans can do well
enough on the big day itself to overcome their deficit.”
Overall Hillary Clinton maintains a modest advantage in North Carolina with
47% to 44% for Donald Trump, and Gary Johnson at 4%. In a head to head
Clinton's lead remains steady at 3 points at 49/46.

5. I wonder whether headlines like this will discourage Republicans from showing up

on election day.

If there's something like a major storm, and reports are that the Dems have an insurmountable lead, a lot of R voters will stay home. Now I get why early voting is so important.

8. If anything, Trump supporters may show up with guns.

We're going to need people with camcorders or phones with video capacity at as many swing state polling stations as possible.
