On September 5, a North Carolina State Trial Court refused to remove Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s name from the ballot From the sounds of it he’s not been able to get his name removed from any of the swing states so far?

You can't compare to 2020 - Covid-19.

And surely the Democrats are doing a *lot* more ground campaigning this time, for exactly that reason.

I read that the dems haven't thrown around a lot of money here as they're not quite convinced that can win. I might be wrong but I would be surprised if they do. Be the first time since Obama they win NC in the presidential election

Democrats will probably win Governor easily. Mark Robinson (GOP nominee) is moronic. A chronic verbal diarrhoea sufferer methinks. Five tilt states according to polling. One of them is N. Carolina. Note the closeness of the polling. It's probably a boon for Democratic turnout. The Research Triangle holds the key. Charlotte, Durham Raleigh turnout will decide. Harris likely cuts the Cabarrus margin. Biden halved Trump's lead in 2020.

Be the first time since Obama they win NC in the presidential election There is an element of fools gold for the Democrats in North Carolina, although the margins tend to be tight they’ve lost all the Presidential and Senate races since 2008 despite them putting in heavy resources a lot of the time and polling favouring them in spells That’s not to say they they should simply forever give up on it but Harris’ polling surge hasn’t yet opened up a massive lead overall and if anything it’s maybe decreased slightly recently, so it still seems like the most sensible option is to focus on maintaining Biden’s states

A state the other party targets. They perennially come up short. Though. Incidentally, NV has a GOP governor - NC's is Dem.

Robinson was elected Lieutenant Governor but the increased scrutiny of running for the top job seems to have killed him Of course governor races are still more likely to get split ticketing and Roy Cooper won twice while Trump carried it on the same ballot

It was one of the few states that didn't see a swing to Biden

Golly gosh, Robinson is thumping hard. Morning Consult aren't the best, however. Similar to the Stein +11 poll. This should not be so lopsided. Gubernatorial ticket splitting still a thing. But we knew that before, obviously. Which other Democrats benefit from this? Obviously, this could benefit Harris somewhat. There's also Lt-Gov and A-G races. There's a Superintendent election in NC. I think Democrats can win that. Blue + North Carolina = Blorth Carolina, lol.

It’ll most likely be tighter than that as a final result purely based on partisan leans, but Robinson certainly looks doomed

It’ll most likely be tighter than that as a final result purely based on partisan leans, but Robinson certainly looks doomed 50% for Josh Stein is excellent. Republicans' swing state governor nominees are crap. Wisconsin went from Democratic by 1% to a solid 5% lead for Evers in 2022. Pennsylvania elected a Republican in 2010, but was a landslide for Shapiro in 2022 (to the point where he almost got the VP nomination!). Michigan (you know, the swing state Trump won in 2016?) was a 10-point blowout for Gretchen Whitmer. The GOP even contrived to lose Arizona despite a top tier electable candidate in Karrin Taylor Robson, but they picked a nut job in the primary. The only bright spot was Nevada and the Silver State having the highest employment in the land during Covid-19 (circa 20%) probably helped Lombardo over the line. 2022 was the Democrats' best election for governors since *checks notes* 1986. There's a good chance of a net gain in governor's mansions this year, with the White Mountain State being very much in play with handsome Harris leads across New Hampshire for some time. Trump has even pulled out of contesting the Granite State this year, which may be the writing on the wall for Kelly Ayotte (who was already felled in a Presidential year).
