Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are "dead even" in the all-important, swing state of North Carolina, a new
Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey reveals.
According to the poll of 947 registered voters conducted on June 20-21:
- Trump: 43 percent;
- Clinton: 43 percent;
- Libertarian Gary Johnson: 4 percent;
- Green Party's Jill Stein: 2 percent;
- Undecided: 7 percent.
In a head-to-head match up, Trump actually leads Clinton, 48 to 46 percent, but with a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points, that advantage is moot.
And it appears the candidates' neck-and-neck status will remain unchanged for now.
"There's not much evidence [of] North Carolina of Republican voters having any desire to dump Trump," PPP said.
"He has a 72/18 favorability rating among voters in his party and he leads Clinton 85-6 among GOP voters in the full field, just a shade below the 89-6 advantage a generic Republican candidate has among GOP voters in the state."
North Carolina, which has 15 electoral votes in the presidential election, is considered a swing state because no single candidate or party has the lead in securing those votes.
