In a recent poll, Trump leads Harris in North Carolina, a state that hasn't voted Democratic since 2008.

As the November elections approach, North Carolina remains a tie in the presidential race.

Despite the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, the state's political polling has remained consistently close.

A recent poll by the Washington Post shows former President Trump ahead of Vice President Harris by 2% among likely voters in North Carolina, with Trump receiving 50% and Harris getting 48%.

The poll shows that Trump's lead in the state is within the 3.5% margin of error, but he won the state in 2020 with a 1.3% lead. The poll surveyed 1,001 registered voters randomly selected from a statewide database.

Since Obama's 2008 victory, North Carolina has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. However, the Democratic National Committee views the state's Republican majority as vulnerable and believes it could shift towards the Democrats.

The survey results do not reflect any possible shifts in public opinion due to the full impact of Helene on the state, as the majority of the survey was conducted before the storm.

Since the hurricane landed in Florida on Thursday night, over 120 people have been killed by Helene.

The storm resulted in millions of people losing power and billions of dollars in property damage as it swept through the southern Appalachian Mountains and into the Tennessee Valley.

On Wednesday, President Biden will visit North Carolina, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene.

After facing criticism for poor leadership following the devastation caused by the monster storm in the southeastern region, the president has made an announcement.
