North Carolina Senate Race Shows Double-Digit Advantage for Democrats

Hannah Knudsen 30 Mar 2026

Democrats have a double-digit advantage over Republicans in the North Carolina Senate race between former Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper (D) and former Republican National Committee Chair (RNC) Michael Whatley, a survey commissioned by Nexus Strategies for Healthier United found.

The survey asked respondents, “Looking forward to the November election for United States Senator. If the election were held today, would you vote for Roy Cooper, a Democrat, Michael Whatley, a Republican, or Shannon Bray, a Libertarian?”

Across the board, 50 percent chose Democrat Cooper, leaving Whatley nearly 18 points behind with 32.3 percent support. Bray only sees single digit support with four percent support, and 13.8 percent remain undecided.

A majority of Republicans, 71.3 percent, side with Whatley and most Democrats, 87.5 percent, side with Cooper. Unaffiliated voters give the Democrat candidate the advantage. Nearly half of unaffiliated voters, 48.8 percent, choose Cooper, followed by 25.5 percent who support Whatley and 5.1 percent who choose Bray. Another 19.6 percent of unaffiliated voters are unsure of who they would support.

Whately is a poor choice.. imo

Cooper would beat anybody in this environment, but Whatley is not a good choice.
