Cooper Leads Strongly in NC Senate Race | Winston–Salem News

Roy Cooper’s commanding lead in the North Carolina Senate race, according to the latest Elon University Poll, shows him at 65% with Michael Whatley at 30%, as nearly three-quarters of voters plan to vote. Democrats are overwhelmingly behind Cooper—90% support—while Whatley gains traction among Republicans, with his approval rising since March. Voter confidence in the election process is mixed, though most believe their vote matters; Joy Smith tops the list for perceived influence. Cooper’s consistent advantage across polls suggests a strong position, but the race remains dynamic as Republicans look to shift momentum ahead of Election Day.
