NC breaks early voting record as WRAL New Poll shows close races everywhere but governor

The final round of polls from WRAL News and SurveyUSA released in this final week of early voting, as more than half of all voters have now already cast a ballot, breaking the record set in 2020 for early voting. The polls show an evenly tied presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in North Carolina, and both candidates plan to return to the Tar Heel State this weekend for the final push in the 2024 election. Other races, such as for Attorney General and the NC-01 US House seat, appear to also be coming down to the wire. The governor's race between Josh Stein and Mark Robinson shows a large lead for Stein. Reporters Will Doran and Paul Specht break down the poll results and the key races to watch in North Carolina that are flying under the radar, like for control of the state legislature. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
