Donald Trump is now trailing behind Kamala Harris in North Carolina and several other key swing states in the race for president, according to a new poll released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
It's the first major poll of this election cycle that shows the Republican former president trailing his Democratic challenger in North Carolina. It was released the same day Trump gave a speech in Asheville, and just days after his campaign bought its first television ads in North Carolina — signs that the Trump campaign now sees North Carolina as being in play.
Trump was routinely favored over President Joe Biden in polls before Biden dropped out of the race on July 21. Multiple polls this spring and summer showed Trump up by nearly double digits over Biden in North Carolina. That was a stark contrast to 2020, when Trump won the state by just 1.5% of the vote.
But the Cook Political Report poll on Wednesday found Harris leading Trump by 2 percentage points — a 10-point swing in favor of Democrats from May, when its poll that month found Trump leading Biden by 8 points.
The poll of seven key swing states — North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — found Trump ahead in only Nevada.
“Harris’ success in closing the gap is driven by her consolidation of the Democratic base, and increased support among independent voters,” wrote Amy Walter, the group’s publisher.
Ahead of Trump's speech in Asheville, local Democratic state Rep. Caleb Rudow told WRAL that when Biden was still in the race, the Buncombe County Democratic Party in Asheville had 20 volunteers. A week after Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, he said, they had 140 volunteers.
"It's seven times the number of volunteers out," Rudow said. "And in states like North Carolina, where everything is really close, seven times the amount of energy makes a really big difference in elections."
Harris plans to visit Raleigh on Friday, countering Trump’s Asheville visit.
When she visits Raleigh on Friday, Harris is expected to roll out her own economic plan. It could set the tone for how much she plans to either continue Biden’s policies, or propose a new path forward.
Under Biden, wages are higher and the unemployment rate is lower than under Trump. But Biden has taken a hit in part because inflation has also risen — spiking at the highest rate in decades during the early stages of Biden's presidency, but down since then. Grocery and gas prices in particular have shot up, and Republicans have been quick to remind voters of that.
A WRAL News poll in March found that just 46% of North Carolina voters felt optimistic about their own personal economic outlook. Investors, meanwhile, have been buoyed by a booming stock market during his presidency. The S&P 500 has climbed 42% during his time in office, setting an all-time record last month.
While Trump hammers Harris on inflation under Biden, and Harris prepares to try changing the narrative with three months left until the election, Democrats like Rudow say they don’t trust Trump to deliver for most Americans if he returns to the White House.
“It's all about the same old thing from Trump, which is tax cuts for the rich and nothing for the working class,” Rudow said.
