RALEIGH – The latest Civitas poll has found that 43 percent of likely North Carolina unaffiliated voters say if the presidential election were held again today, they would vote for Donald J. Trump while just 39 percent of them said they would vote for Hillary Clinton.
The full text of the question is below.
If you had a chance to do it all over again, for whom would you vote for President between (RANDOMIZE) Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Gary Johnson?
43% Donald Trump, the Republican
39% Hillary Clinton, the Democrat
9% Gary Johnson, the Libertarian
9% Prefer to not state/ Refused
Civitas President Col. Francis De Luca said, “This result appears to illustrate two things: that Trump voters are sticking with him, and that elections are binary. Despite Donald Trump’s perceived unpopularity, when compared to another actual candidate, he remains ahead.”

Wow! Lots of deplorable voters still out there!
57 percent of likely North Carolina unaffiliated voters either won’t vote for Trump, or would not say if they would.
400 unaffiliated North Carolinians?
That sample group doesn’t mean much.
I must say, had I been included in this poll, I would have sided with President Trump’s favorable results, so count me in as poll taker no. 401.
“Despite Donald Trump’s perceived unpopularity” The cat is out of the bag. We now know that pres. trump is popular with the president of nccivitas. No surprise!
All these anti Trump comments just fail to see what the real story is.The main stream polls were wrong before and after the election.If you want the truth look at the crowds that came to his speeches and the crowds that are still coming.Another way to gauge the sentiment is the money they have raised.The Gimmedats have pretty much raised zero money and the Republicans are miles ahead.People are just not buying what Bernie,Lieawatha Warren,Maxine Watters,and Nancy Senile Pelosi,are selling.If we ever get voter I.D. In every state the Gimmedats will never win another election without their illegals and dead people.
I bett he is PЕRFECT at it!? Laᥙghed Larry.
