Cooper Leads in NC Senate Race

Roy Cooper’s Senate bid in North Carolina is surging, leading Michael Whatley by 14 points in a new poll—with 48% to 34% support and 15% undecided. His edge? A commanding win among independents, a key swing group, and strong regional and demographic support, especially among women and across urban, rural, and suburban areas. This comes amid a midterm trend favoring the party out of the White House—and voters disapproving of the president. Meanwhile, Republicans in North Carolina are increasingly identifying with the party over Trump personally, signaling “Trump fatigue” among suburban and female GOP voters. With Democrats’ last Senate win here in 2008, this race could reshape Congress—and the poll shows Cooper’s momentum is real. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
