The Vice President has been hiding from the public eye. And there’s a very good reason for this.
Because stunning test result left Kamala Harris white as a ghost.
Kamala is not looking great with just a few days out from the election.
Harris may be aiming to capture the energy of Barack Obama’s historic 2008 campaign, but achieving the same results appears unlikely, according to a recent University of Massachusetts Lowell poll suggesting Donald Trump is positioned to clinch North Carolina for a third time in eight years.
Surveying 650 likely voters between October 16 and 23, the poll shows Trump with a narrow lead over Harris, capturing 47% of the vote to her 45%.
Trump’s edge in this poll is right between his 2016 win of 3.66 points and his tighter 1.34-point lead in 2020.
Four percent of voters remain undecided, while third-party candidates Cornel West and Jill Stein each earn 1%, alongside an additional 1% who favor “another candidate.”
Trump’s success in this poll hinges on a familiar dynamic: winning over men by a notable margin.
While both candidates dominate within their own gender, Trump leads Harris by 12 points among men, whereas Harris holds a narrower 7-point lead among women.
With just 3% of men undecided versus 5% of women, Trump may have additional room to build on this advantage.
Race also plays a significant role in this North Carolina matchup.
Trump garners support from 58% of white voters, giving him a solid 22-point lead over Harris in that demographic.
Harris, however, has a commanding lead among Black voters, winning 79% to Trump’s 11%, with 10% still uncommitted.
Otherwise, Harris and Trump are running evenly in several critical metrics, with both candidates claiming 92% of their party’s voters.
This high party loyalty tempers any narrative of Republicans crossing over to rebuke Trump, as 95% of Harris’s voters and 92% of Trump’s say their choice is locked in.
The poll also examined North Carolina’s governor race, where GOP Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson trails Democrat Attorney General Josh Stein by a sizable 12 points, 48% to 36%.
Stein is outperforming Robinson significantly among independents, leading 52% to 13%.
Seven percent favor third-party candidates, 27% remain undecided, and 2% say they’re sitting this race out.
