Clinton Leads by 7 Points in North Carolina Poll
Source: NY Times
A New York Times Upshot/Siena College survey released on Tuesday confirms that Mr. Trumps standing has deteriorated considerably. Hillary Clinton has a seven-point lead over Mr. Trump in North Carolina, 46 percent to 39 percent, among likely voters in a three-way race including the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
Its a big improvement for Mrs. Clinton since September, when the last New York Times Upshot/Siena College poll showed a tied race in the state as other polls at the time also did. It mirrors a national trend of steady gains for Mrs. Clinton throughout October.
The poll is her best live-interview survey in North Carolina so far this month. In general, it is better to look at an average of polls than any single survey. But the Upshot/Siena poll is hardly alone in suggesting that Mrs. Clinton has an advantage. On average, she has led by three points in North Carolina surveys so far this month.
Mrs. Clintons gain came from incremental improvements across nearly every dimension of the survey.

I see from the map that my favorite places are blue, so that's encouraging (Asheville of course, and Charlotte and Winston-Salem).
