North Carolina Poll -Clinton 55% Sanders 29%

[DemocratSinceBirth]

HIGH POINT, N.C., Feb. 8, 2016 – The High Point University Poll has found former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the lead in North Carolina’s Democratic Primary for President of the United States over Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. On the Republican side, more of North Carolina’s likely Republican primary voters support Donald Trump. Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are his closest competitors.

The survey of likely Democratic primary voters found that a majority (55 percent) support Secretary Clinton, and 29 percent favor Sen. Sanders. The other two candidates on the ballot – former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and California businessman Rocky De La Fuente – received virtually no support. Gov. O’Malley suspended his campaign after the Iowa Caucuses on Feb. 1, during the administration of the HPU Poll.

1. In my neighborhood, I've only seen feel the bern bumper stickers.

But I live in Raleigh. Maybe other areas are different?

6. Same here in Charlotte, Bernie stickers and signs.

Someone did put up a string of Ben Carson signs along one road here though. Was in the Ballantyne area so that would be expected there. I haven't really seen a lot of yard signs for any candidate, seems many are either forgoing the yard sign altogether, or maybe it's still too early? The ones I have seen though are for Bernie. I've spotted several Bernie bumper stickers tooling about town though.

9. Asheville here.

We're for Bernie, but there are lots of republicans here.

[NorthCarolina]

10. Yes,

we also have many Republicans here as well however several of our close friends (all generally heavily GOP leaning which is common around these parts), and they have come out to us a Bernie supporters. They despise 'em some Hillary, but they will listen to what Bernie has to say...and they like it. One friend was all about Carly Fiorina for a while and we tangled a few times in good fun (we've always been Bernie supporters and at the start they picked on us some), called me the other day and said "I wanted to call you first to let you know I just donated to Bernie". I about fell outta my chair except I was standing up at the time. Ultimately, when all is said and done, I think Bernie will do quite well in NC.

19. Hillary supporters do not understand how despised she is - not just the right, but the left as well.

She is inappropriate as president.

for Sanders and Clinton in Charlotte. I guess it depends on the neighborhood.

8. Good point...At this rate he might catch her by Easter of... 2017...

Shame the rest of the nation isn't as sparsely populated, homogeneous, and rural as New Hampshire and Iowa.

He was way down there a few weeks ago.

18. I am in NC and will be voting for Clinton. Sanders has zero chance of winning NC in a GE

The looniest member of the Klown Kar would beat him. Heck a lump of coal ash sludge would beat him.
