A month until NC votes, Dems see 'blue wave' approaching state legislature [View all]

RALEIGH, M.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina Republicans have held a tight grip on the reins of power at the state legislature since 2010. But talking to both sides one month out from Election Day, it's North Carolina Democrats who sound more confident that this is their year

"It's a change election," Raleigh Democratic State Rep. Grier Martin told ABC 11, describing internal party polling numbers he's seen in the final weeks leading up to Election Day.

Martin helped recruit Democratic candidates all over the state to take on Republicans in all 120 House districts.

"We've got great folks from all walks of life. We've got business people, teachers, veterans," Martin said.

He said that during the last few months, something changed in the Democrats' Election Day calculations; that they're not just talking about taking away Republican super-majorities in the House and Senate anymore. At some point last summer, the Democrats turned their focus on winning at least one chamber outright.
