Poll: Trump up double digits among N.C. independents

Donald Trump carries a 14-point lead over Hillary Clinton among North Carolina's independent voter population but still trails the former secretary of state by 2 percentage points overall, a new Monmouth University shows.

Clinton leads Trump 44 to 42 percent among North Carolinians who are likely to vote in the November election, while 7 percent of voters back Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and 6 percent remain undecided.

While the GOP presidential nominee lags far behind Clinton among black, Hispanic and Asian voters (76 to 13 percent), he draws 44 percent support among independents to Clinton's 30 percent. Trump also bests Clinton among white voters — 54 to 31 percent — although his current lead is significantly smaller than the 37-point advantage Mitt Romney had in 2012.

With the exception of 2008, North Carolina has voted for the Republican candidate in every presidential election since Ronald Reagan's landslide victory in 1980.

I know NC is getting invaded like Georgia and Florida has over the years, but I would be shocked if the Dems have a 7 point party advantage.

I think Trump is going to win NC and FL easily.

Most polls show Trump up double digits with the independents, and yet even or behind over all.

I call BS. It’s not possible for both to be true.

I think this is bogus too.

Romney WON NC by 1.8 points, so you can figure the better breakdown would be Rs up by 2% over Ds.

Without Helms, NC isn’t too hopeful.

Like Virginia, North Carolina has been inundated by Northeastern Liberals and Socialists fleeing the hellholes they’re responsible for creating, and now they’re busy working to duplicate those hellholes all over the South.

Yup. Apart from FL and VA. Trump will likely carry FL and Hillary will win VA.

But she will be shut out in the South.

I agree. I hope the DEMS are dumb enough to think GA is a battleground because it isn’t.
