Raleigh, N.C. PPP's newest North Carolina poll finds that Democrats are
running up large leads already during early voting. Among those who say they've
already voted, 63% say they cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton to only 37% for
Donald Trump. Interestingly, less than half of a percent say they voted for Gary
Johnson, which could be a sign that he won't end up getting that much more
support than a normal third party candidate. The big Democratic advantage
holds down ballot as well. Roy Cooper leads Pat McCrory 61-33 for Governor
among those who have already voted, with Libertarian Lon Cecil at 1%. And
Deborah Ross leads Richard Burr 52-34 for Senate, with Libertarian Sean Haugh
at 7% among those who say they have already cast their ballots.
Its already clear that Democrats will go into Election Day with a substantial
advantage in North Carolina, said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy
Polling. Its just going to be a question of whether Republicans can do well
enough on the big day itself to overcome their deficit.
Overall Hillary Clinton maintains a modest advantage in North Carolina with
47% to 44% for Donald Trump, and Gary Johnson at 4%. In a head to head
Clinton's lead remains steady at 3 points at 49/46.

If there's something like a major storm, and reports are that the Dems have an insurmountable lead, a lot of R voters will stay home. Now I get why early voting is so important.
