Alan Wooten Managing Editor for the Center Square

Expected to be the most expensive U.S. Senate race in history, polling by the Center Square released Friday gave former North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper a lead on Republican Michael Whatley of 47%-41%. The sampling was taken Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of 1,000 registered voters. Estimates for spending range from $500 million to $750 million. Neither is expected to have serious competition at the March 3 primary. Alan Wooten, the Managing Editor for Center Square, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the early polling for North Carolina’s Senate race.
