Seven polls, three distinct top issues for North Carolina voters | North Carolina
SUMMARY: Voter concerns in North Carolina are strongly centered on economic issues, with topics like the economy, jobs, and inflation consistently leading polls. Immigration and abortion follow closely in importance. Recent surveys involving over 6,700 likely voters show varied responses on critical issues, but voters’ financial concerns dominate. While issues like healthcare, education, and democracy also make appearances, they rank lower, often shifted by recent legislative actions. The data reveals that while contentious topics like critical race theory and student loans received less attention, economic stability remains the primary focus for voters as the election cycle progresses.

North Carolina’s No. 1 industry takes severe hit from Helene | North Carolina
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helene has caused significant damage in western North Carolina, particularly to farm livestock fences, prompting Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler to call for donations to support affected farmers. The exact extent of the damage to this vital $111.1 billion industry is still unknown. Troxler noted the community’s strong support through donations of hay, animal feed, and fencing supplies, and emphasized the need for solar fence chargers. A donation portal has been established for both those offering and requiring help. Troxler highlighted the severe destruction, comparing it to tornado damage, and confirmed that recovery will take time.
