NC-GOV: tops Robinson by 17 points in North Carolina gubernatorial race: Survey

[RandySF]

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein (D) is leading embattled Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) by 17 points in the gubernatorial race, according to a new survey.

The High Point University poll released Thursday shows Stein with 51 percent support compared to Robinson’s 34 percent among North Carolina’s likely voters. Some 11 percent were unsure, while 3 percent said they preferred someone else.

There was a similar gap among self-identified registered voters in the survey; Stein garnered a 19-point lead, 51 percent to 32 percent, over the lieutenant governor.

Robinson is currently facing scrutiny over a bombshell report from CNN that linked the GOP candidate to messages posted on a porn site messaging board more than a decade ago. He reportedly called himself a “Black Nazi” and expressed support for slavery, among other inflammatory comments.

1. The bottom fell out...which I believe was also the theme of one of his posts on Nude Africa

2. How in the world can Stein win this by 15 and Harris not also win?

Somehow we’ve gotta suppress the GOP vote in the last month.

There is simply NO WAY that Robinson can win. It’s going to be a bloodbath there. His voters will simply stay home at some point and this has to help Harris.

3. I agree

It’ll be much closer.
