NC-GOV: tops Robinson by 17 points in North Carolina gubernatorial race: Survey [View all]

[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.
