Xposted in NC forum. Such great news! People here are excited. I had a door knocker today asking for support up and down the ballot. Here's hoping!

...
The YouGov Blue/Carolina Forward survey was taken August 5 through August 9 and involved 802 registered voters. The margin of error is 3.9%.

1. Voters are starting to learn more about the radical right agenda

Voters are scared!

2. NC is one state that hasn't shown much moment for Harris. TIL NOW!

10. Voters need to be scared

My sense is that project 2025 will turn us into a Nazi type police state so fast people won’t believe it. Just look back at Nazi Germany back in the day. Within four months they had already converted that whole country into a police state and Hitler was completely in charge of the whole thing and started wreaking havoc immediately.

The voters need to be terrified and vote for Kamala and Tim.

3. 36% for Mark Robinson. WTF?

[leftieNanner]

4. Read it again

You got it backwards.

5. Thanks, I'll fix it.

22. It's still crazy that 36% think Robinson would be a good governor.

[mobeau69]

24. It sure is. Mind boggling!

[SunSeeker]

6. Yup. Stein is kicking ass.

[mobeau69]

8. Robinson is clinically insane. There are lot of weird people in this country.

14. a loud mouth ball of hate... trying to sound all soft and pro choice now

9. dude is looney toons

7. Confirms my observation from the real world. Robinson gets the core base and no one else

Good. We need to keep it up with the ads.

13. I have never heard a positive news story about him here

so his only support is 'my party or die' type support

16. Ads? I no longer have cable, so I'm mostly streaming. There are ads all over for Robinson, but I never see ads...

for Stein on streaming anymore, and haven't for many weeks. I'm guessing the campaign has chosen to spend its dollars in other places. If the polling in the o.p. is accurate, perhaps they feel good about the state of the race. I live in the Piedmont Triad, and maybe Stein is being really selective about the areas they spend their money in?

18. I am seeing pro Stein ads

I'm in the Charlotte media market, and I stream via YouTube TV. There are also anti Robinson ads.

19. Earlier in the campaign, I couldn't keep up with all the anti Robinson, pro Stein ads, but they came to an end.

Like you, I watch a lot of YouTube, Pluto & Hulu, but as I suspected...they must targeting areas outside the Triad right now. I used to love the ads from black men, especially religious leaders who unequivocally denounced Robinson for his horrible comments about black women. I don't know how this guy ever got to be Lt. Governor.

11. Democrats should be able to take NC, in both the Presidential race and the Governor's race.

Republicans have terribly weird candidates in NC, and Democrats have candidates who will capitalize on the GOP "weird factor".

12. Dems kicking' much booty!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

15. Yes!

[Dem4life1970]

17. This is great news!

Sounds like the campaign is shifting money to the ground game. Ads can only take you so far (even though they are important) GOTV is critical.

20. This is probably the 3rd most likely state to see violence in December when the Electoral College meets

Right behind Arizona and Wisconsin

21. Oh goody? why do you say that?

[yardwork]

23. I would be very surprised to see that.

I've lived in NC for nearly 50 years. It's not a place that is prone to political violence. Why do you think there's a likelihood of it?
