North Carolinians are ditching the donkey…
According to a New York Post report, nearly 200,000 registered voters have left the Democratic Party in North Carolina while the GOP gained more than 75,000.
Recent polling has Kamala Harris and Donald Trump neck and neck in the Tar Heel State.
From The New York Post:
By voting bloc, unaffiliated continues to be the greatest gainer and Democrats – 20 years ago the overwhelming party of choice – the biggest loser.
Republicans, meanwhile, have had the smallest fluctuation in percentage change over 20 years, and in the last dozen.
Same-day registration is available in North Carolina during the early in-person voting period; otherwise, the registration deadline is closed.
Election Day is 22 days away with this cycle the longest statewide ballot – president; 14 congressional seats; governor and nine other Council of State seats; one seat on the state Supreme Court and three on the Court of Appeals; and 50 state senators and 120 state representatives in the General Assembly in addition to local races.
All three major voting blocs have gained since Jan. 1, 2004, when the state boasted just over 5 million registered voters.
Since the 2020 election, unaffiliateds have gained nearly half a million – 472,559; Democrats have lost 199,981; and Republicans have increased 76,350.
RealClearPolling has Trump +0.7 points in North Carolina. Betting markets are currently giving Donald Trump a 63% chance of winning the state and a 57% chance to win the election.
