If this is even considered a battleground state late in the race, the Presidential contest is over. The only issue will be what the electoral college margin of victory will be. Hillary does not win NC without carrying VA comfortably.

(20,709 posts)7. Is this a legit polling outfit? If so, this is great. The margins seem almost too good to be true.
14 points in Florida? 10 points in NC?
