Quinnipiac Poll: Trump Holds Slim Lead in N.C.

Former President Donald Trump holds a narrow lead over President Joe Biden in North Carolina, a key swing state in this year’s presidential election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

Trump currently leads Biden 48% to 46% among registered voters, within the 3% margin of error, deeming the race too close to call. While it is of little surprise that Democrats support Biden 95% to 2% and Republicans support Trump 94% to 3%, most significant is the independent vote, with 49% backing Trump with 41% going to Biden.

When the race is expanded to include the various independent candidates, Trump maintains roughly the same edge leading, 41% to 38% over Biden. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received 12%, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent candidate Cornel West each pulled in 3%.
