    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 13, 2014 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE North Carolina Republican Field Still Headed for Runoff Raleigi h, N.C. – PPP's monthly look at the North Carolina Senate race finds Thom Tillis continuing to have difficulty breaking away from the pack in a way that would let him avoid a runoff in the Republican Senate primary. Tillis is polling at 20%, followed by Greg Brannon and Heather Grant at 13%, Ted Alexannder at 10%, Mark Harris at 8%, and Edward Kryn at 2%. Tillis is only receiving support right now from about 30% of the voters who have made up their minds, which would place him well below the 40% mark needed to win the primary outright. Tillis has only slightly increased his support from a month ago when he was at 19%. It's interesting to note that Harris, often viewed as the top competitor to Tillis, continues to lag in support compared to Brannon and even Grant and Alexander who aren't viewed as serious candidates. It's taking a long time for this field to really develop. The general election picture in the Senate race remains the same, with Kay Hagan trailing most of her potential opponents by small margins. 41% of voters approve of Hagan to 50% who disapprove of her, making this the fourth month in a row she's had roughly a - 10 net approval rating since attack ads started being run against her.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Januarry 14, 2014 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Tillis expands lead in primary, NC Senate race still looks like toss up Raleigi h, N.C. – For the first time in our polling of the North Carolina Senate race, presumptive frontrunner Thom Tillis has opened a little bit of space between himself and the rest of his opponents in the Republican primary. Tillis now leads the field with 19% to 11% for Greg Brannon and Heather Grant, 8% forr Mark Harris, and 7% for Bill Flynn. Tillis has gained 6 points from his 13% standing a month ago, while Harris has declined by 4 points from the 12% he had previously. Everyone else has more or less stayed in place. The name recognition Tillis gained by being the firstt candidate to run tv ads probably helped drive his increased support this month. 46% of Republican primary voters are familiar with Tillis, compared to less than 30% for everyone else in the field. Tillis is now leading in every region of the state except the Triad, where Flynn is well known from a long radio career. Despite Tillis' increased support this primary would still be headed to a runoff if the election was today. If the undecided voters broke proportionately to their current candidate preferences it would only be enough to get Tillis to 34%%, well short of the 40% needed in North Carolina to win the primary outright.

    Results of SurveyUSA Election Poll #22742 Geography: North Carolina Sponsor: Data Collected: 03/04/2016 - 03/07/2016 WRAL-TV (Raleigh) Release Date: 03/08/2016 Percentages 1 Week To NC Republican Presidential Primary, Before Results from Michigan are Known, Trump Atop Cruz; Ross Atop Rey in Democratic Senate Primary; Burr, McCrory, Cooper Positioned for Statewide Primary Wins: Ted Cruz may be closing in on Donald Trump in North Carolina, in the Republican primary for President of the United States, according to the latest poll commissioned by WRAL-TV in Raleigh. During the first half of interviewing for this survey, before the results of the 03/05/16 Kansas, Maine, Kentucky, and Louisiana Republican contests were known, Cruz polled at 23%. After news of Cruz's strong Saturday showing had been digested, Cruz polled at 33%. During the same period, Trump's support softened ever-so-slightly, from 42% to 39%. Rubio's support declined from 16% to 11% and John Kasich's support crept 3 points higher. When data from all 4 days of interviewing is integrated, the results at this hour are: * Trump 41%, Cruz 27%, Marco Rubio 14%, and John Kasich 11%. Trump led Cruz by 19 points during the first 2 days of interviewing. Trump led Cruz by 6 points during the last 2 days of interviewing. Results of next week's North Carolina presidential voting may be influenced by today's 03/08/16 Michigan and Mississippi primaries. Should Trump perform worse than expected in Michigan, that may cast doubt on his inevitability. Should Rubio perform worse than expected in Michigan, that may increase the calls for him to exit the race.
