Former President Donald Trump got some more good news in the form of a battleground state survey released on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The poll of 800 registered voters from\u00a0Elon College<\/a>, conducted Aug. 2 to Aug. 9 ahead of the Democratic National Convention, found that Trump was more popular than Vice President Kamala Harris in North Carolina by a margin of 46-44 percent.<\/p>\n That said, both candidates are disapproved of by a majority of respondents. \u201cOur favorability data shows Trump and Harris with competitive levels of support,\u201d said Professor Jason Husser, director of the Elon University Poll.<\/p>\n The New York Post added<\/a>:<\/p>\n Trump is above water with men, with 50% approval. Harris, at 39%, is lagging with that sex. Meanwhile, 47% of women regard Harris favorably, with 43% saying the same about Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n The favorability polling shows Trump is strongest with voters without a 4-year college degree; he\u2019s at 52% with that group, with 43% disapproval. Another 5% have no opinion.<\/em><\/p>\n Among unaligned voters, Trump has just 35% approval against 54% disapproval, with 11% of indy respondents uncommitted either way.<\/em><\/p>\n Harris has similar approval ratings among independent voters as Trump, with 34% approval, 51% disapproval, and 15% lacking an opinion of the California Democrat.<\/p>\n The pollster suggests that these numbers indicate North Carolina will be highly competitive in the next 70 days.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving been won by Republican presidential candidates for three elections in a row, North Carolina is sometimes called into question as a swing state,\u201d said Husser. \u201cOur data show that North Carolina\u2019s electoral votes remain up for grabs by either party, but winning those votes will involve navigating a divided, complex and engaged electorate.\u201d<\/p>\n While this poll shows Trump with an advantage, other surveys indicate positives for Harris in the state.<\/p>\n A Tar Heel State Survey USA poll from High Point University, conducted between August 19 and 21, shows Harris with a \u201cwhisker-thin\u201d lead. She is ahead by 3 points among registered voters and 2 points among likely voters.<\/p>\n Additionally, the FiveThirtyEight polling average for the state shows Harris leading by the slimmest margin possible, just one-tenth of a percentage point, the New York Post noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n Patrons at a northern Virginia restaurant specializing in Vietnamese cuisine broke out in raucous cheers to greet Trump on Monday, according to reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 45th president visited the Truong Tien Vietnamese Restaurant in Falls Church, Virginia, with Hung Cao, a U.S. Senate candidate in Virginia. Cao, a Naval Academy graduate and combat veteran, is running to unseat incumbent Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine.<\/p>\n Earlier in the day, Cao accompanied Trump when the 45th president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. The wreath was a tribute to the 13 service members who lost their lives in a suicide bomb attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the chaotic withdrawal of American forces under Biden\u2019s administration, the Western Journal reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cao stood by Trump as he entered the Vietnamese restaurant, and the room erupted in cheers and applause.<\/p>\n \u201cSomehow, I don\u2019t know what it is \u2014 you\u2019ll have to explain it \u2014 the Vietnamese community loves me, and I love them,\u201d Trump said, causing the people in the room to cheer even louder and break out into a chant of \u201cUSA! USA! USA!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn Florida, we go down and we have large groups of people, always dressed perfectly, with the red and the silver. I say, \u2018You\u2019re the most beautiful dressers I\u2019ve ever seen,\u2019\u201d he noted further.<\/p>\n Trump then turned to the Senate candidate and said: \u201cI love his name \u2014 Hung Cao. I love that name, and that name alone should get you elected.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re looking to win the state,\u201d Trump said, \u201cwhich is not necessarily good for Republicans, but I\u2019m not an average Republican, and neither are you.\u201d After both finished speaking, one customer yelled: \u201cMake America great again!\u201d<\/p>\n Trump then signed autographs afterward, with one telling him, \u201cWe will fight for you, sir.\u201d Another hollered, \u201cWe need you for the next four years.\u201d<\/p>\n WATCH:<\/p>\n President Trump visits a Vietnamese restaurant in Falls Church, Virginia:<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll all fight for you, sir!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe need you for the next four years!\u201d pic.twitter.com\/wzs98dbcjx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 26, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n The post Survey: Trump More Popular Than Harris In Must-Win Swing State<\/a> appeared first on Conservative Brief<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former President Donald Trump got some more good news in the form of a battleground state survey released on Tuesday.
