Biden leads President Trump by 7 points in the key swing state of North Carolina, new NBC News/Marist poll says.

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 7 points in the key swing state of North Carolina, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll, with voters also favoring Democratic Senate and gubernatorial candidates and saying by 2 to 1 that the state was right to balk at the Trump administration'sAmong registered voters, Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, got the support of 51 percent, compared with 44 percent who backed Trump.

Democratic Senate candidate Cal Cunningham leads GOP Sen. Thom Tillis by 9 points, with the backing of 50 percent of voters, compared to Tillis' 41 percent. And Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who spent much of the spring in a dispute with the Trump administration over its efforts to hold the in-person Republican National Convention in Charlotte despite the pandemic, easily led his Republican challenger, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, 58 percent to 38 percent.

Cooper, who recently paused the state's reopening plan and issued a statewide mask mandate in response to the rising number of coronavirus cases, had a positive approval rating from 59 percent of voters, compared with 35 percent who disapproved.Meanwhile, Trump's job approval rating among North Carolina voters stood at just 41 percent, with a majority — 55 percent — disapproving. That's a net drop of 11 points since March, when 45 percent approved and 48 percent disapproved.

And just 32 percent of North Carolina voters say state leaders were wrong to insist on safety protocols for the convention. Republican officials ultimately dismissed the protocols as too strict and moved the president's nomination speech to Jacksonville, Florida. Six in 10 agreed that"the state was right to prioritize its health protocols for large gatherings over the objections of the president.

Which proves people are really misguided as Biden has nothing to offer them. If you were honest about his past, he would be 50% down, but you aren't honest are you NBC?

VOTE!

Biden is Pro China Pro CCP!!! He was said to have dimentia

TRUMP2020 MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN SAYNOTOPEDOJOE SLEEPYJOE WEAREMAINSTREAMNOW 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Poll defies logic. Dementia is not something you vote in for President

Polling useless and agenda driven . 2016 Repeat Red result ....

Take a look at Biden's racist history!

Jackhunt

The great state of North Carolina is so great that it's full of 'half-backs' who have imported the exact defective liberal ideology they tried to escape when they moved from dismal northern states to Florida, only to find Florida unbearable and moved half way back to end up in NC

Probably closer to 4 points with margin of error and not even at debates. Eh

These polls mean nothing.

JoeNBC B.S.

I'm not holding my breath. Don't get me wring. I want Biden to win, but with currupt trumpGOP lying, killing, cheating, and stealing I don't see a win. And of course they will have help from Putin, also. So there is that.

Tonite, Trump going to NC

VOTE !

Wht did he JoeBiden turn down the Chris Wallace interview?

Cant believe a racist child molester is leading the polls here in America.

Ignorance is bliss for the democrat party.

I wonder what kind of deal Biden has struck with corporations? Same ol’ same ol’

JoeNBC Are you really dumb enough to believe? Wish being the father of the thought. I actually had the distinct honor and privilege to be polled where I said I'd be voting for Biden. You know the guy who collected $ for family. LOL

Lol

I’ve seen this movie.

THOSE PEOPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE SMART THEY KNOW WHAT PROCESS IS. THEY KNOW ELECTING BIDEN MEANS SLOW ECONOMY IF ELECTED FACT.

Who believes this? Gotta be brain dead to pick a pedophile with dementia who’s been in Washington for 40 yrs and accomplished nothing. Foolish silly poll

All of the morons listed below the believe those polls are going to be more shocked when we were in 2016!! The bottom line is when Joey boy hast to go up against the man amongst boys in the debate he’s going to absolutely collapse!! Just think of it stuttering and stammering!!

This is just for the Virus Ratings 👍😂😂😂

Questions to ask when analyzing political polls.

JoeNBC It was 9 3 weeks ago

Vote like the polls are wrong !!!!

People that believe the polls today are also the same telling us Hillary has a 99.9 % chance of winning.

Why whos voting for this creep

Bull...

JoeNBC You Gov Trump up by 1 in Ohio. There is a 6 to 7-point hidden Trump vote. That means He is tied with Biden in NC. A head of Biden in Ohio by 8.

I call BS. Im 46 and Biden has been in office longer than ive been alive.he is the problem.....not the solution. Plus you have to actually run for president to be president.He is even worse than clinton.

polls arent accurate.

Breaking News: Hillary Clinton is ahead by double digits....... And in the real world the only 'poll' that matters is in November. Remember that stupid look you had back in 2016? Get ready for it again.

ImVoting4BidenBecause

Can WE get an INCREASE? WE cannot allow this election to be a close call and that means WE CANNOT assume ANYTHING Make your get out to vote plans now; mail or in person BUT more than ANYTHING tell; family, friends & co-workers to: Vote Joe Biden 2020

But are folks being honest? I pray they are and it's not Trumpers lying. Too be many Trump flags in my small NC development.

JoeNBC Another scientific poll.

It is way more than %7

JoeNBC Only 7 points? People can’t see how bad things are?

I feel a bad moon rising for realDonaldTrump donwinslow gtconway3d

Can’t wait to call Mr.Biden , Mr President 🙂

Thank you Jesus. Please help us from this devil Donny

ThomTillis has nobody to blame but realDonaldTrump and himself for being a one term US Senator in a red state. He’s been Trump’s lap dog for 5.5 years. He will be a lobbyist by February 2021.

Лидерство этого'демократа'сейчас не факт.т.к все решается в последнем раунде или тайме.Посмотрим!

scientificrealm Hope the polls are correctly carried out this time! Trump is killing Americans, if he can’t kill he beats and tries suppression! He’s divided and made abuse of women normal. He’s corrupt stealing from the tax payers and his party! VoteTrumpOut2020

Yay for my state! Biden2020 Biden2020ToSaveAmerica BidenLandslide2020 BlueWave2020 💙

CalforNC is ahead of Thom Tillis in NC! Let's turn NC blue as heck!

Biden is senile.

I love how they say he gets poor marks on the pandemic. What possible things does he get good marks for?

JoeNBC

These corporate media polls are so predictable. They mean nothing and are an attempt to lull some people into not voting. And no matter what the leads are 100 days out from Nov 3rd these 'polls' all wind up a near 50/50 split by election day.

Meanwhile, in Philly, 4 police cars were set on fire in a form of peaceful protest. I just wanted to let everyone know since these hacks won't.

I don’t believe in the NBC News/ Marxist poll.

Only an idiot would vote for someone who can't remember what office they are running for. Of course, Dems also time it's or to graffiti their home town and then burn it down hurting their neighbors. Then tell BLM as they kill their own children. And their elected officials do?

JoeNBC North Carolina blue! Vote Nov 3!

everyone knows Trump is in trouble, believe the polls or not I don't really care much about current data but the pulse on America tells me this guy is a lame duck.

JoeNBC Battle isn’t won stay focused and get everyone out to vote

JoeNBC GREAT ONE. AMERICA NEEDS A DEMORATIC SANE LEADER. NOT ONE WHO SPEAKS WITH PROFANITY, HATE AND DISGUST FOR OTHERS.

Biden is a weak and mentally impaired but he is propped up by the radical leftists in the Party.

And those who elect the presidents. That groom and vet them from childhood, are leading American citizens by 99 points.

You know we don't believe anything you say about your 'polls'. You continue to skew your 'news' reporting by picking and choosing what you think we need to know. How about some truth?

This is shortly after Trump heard about the new polls:

Does he even know what day it is?

2016: Trump maintains his lead with 39% support among Republican and Republican-leaning voters — a full 20 points higher than any other Republican candidate

Not sure about this.If I were a Trump supporter,I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone - including pollsters.

Oh boy here we go again .. fake news never stops

FakePolls

There’s no place for people like realDonaldTrump in this Universe

What should be breaking news

winning

Destroy the lego boy..realDonaldTrump TheRickWilson MeidasTouch ProjectLincoln

Fake News

It's not about Biden, but people are sick of Trump. They'd rather vote for a thuna sandwich over Trump.

That's fine and dandy, but everyone get out there get registered and go and vote

I love how you hear he gets poor marks for handling the pandemic but how about everything else?
