RALEIGH, N.C. — Three weeks out from Election Day, President Donald Trump is losing ground to Democratic challenger Joe Biden in the battleground state of North Carolina, according to the results of a WRAL News poll released Tuesday.
SurveyUSA polled 669 likely voters across the state between last Thursday and Sunday for the exclusive poll, which also found voters turned off by Trump's large, in-person campaign rallies during the coronavirus pandemic. The responses to the poll have credibility intervals of +/- 4.5 to 4.8 percentage points.
Biden now holds a 50-45 percent lead over Trump in the state. In a WRAL News poll conducted a month ago, both men were tied at 47 percent each.
Jay Leve, chief executive of SurveyUSA, said other polls conducted in North Carolina in recent weeks reflect the same move by voters toward Biden. While a five-point deficit is "not insurmountable," Leve noted that a growing number of people are casting their ballots each day, which gives Trump a declining number from which to make up ground.
