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.

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

Talarico is leading in some Senate polls in Texas, despite what should a safe red seat, and a bizzaro left wing nut job running as a dim.

I don't think Cooper (or his worthless party) are ahead by that much, but he's going to be very tough to beat this fall, Cooper is very popular there.

Polls are polls.  With any luck the DEMS will think that they're ahead anyways, and DEM voter turnout will be to a minimum.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

They will be motivated to turn out and have things really improved under Trump enough that people will run out and vote for him? Doubt it.

Half of the reason the GOP is doing so poorly is that the GOP is doing poorly.

Once again, with the 'trifecta' (House, Senate, White House) the GOP is letting the Dems run the show. People who voted to fix things have noticed they are still broken.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Name one thing that Congressional Republicans have done in the last two years that would earn anyone's vote?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
