Real Clear Politics North Carolina polling average

Yeah I already know that real clear politics leans right, but this is ridiculous. For one, I hate how they pick and choose what polls to include in their averages. But take a look at what they are including for North Carolina (an OAN news poll). But what is even more ridiculous is normally when you click on the poll it brings you to the actual poll and breakdown. When you click on the OAN poll, all it is is a tweet.

These numbers are not that surprising. We can get Arizona Michigan and win the whole thing. We got this.

Biden ran the auto bail-out and was always expected to win Michigan. He's well liked and respected in MI. Trump winning MI was a fluke helped along by voter suppression crap.

CNBC is even more conservative then Fox News and Change Research polling tilts R most of the time.

It is also laughable that they didn't place OAN/Gravis as (R) either.

is the Dem primary had over 2.5 million voters.
the repub primary had 802,527 voters

If Dems turn out that level of voters on election day, trump is crushed.

Why Inconvenience yourself if it is only to vote for Trump.
I'm not surprised more Dems showed up, there was a race between Biden and Bernie at that point.

they fixed some of the gerrymandering IIRC, and Dems won a couple of seats in the state house.

Not ready to just trash NC as viable yet.
