SUMMARY: One week before the general election, a recent poll shows a tied presidential race in North Carolina between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, each at 47%. The electorate is deeply divided across demographics; men favor Trump by six points, while women support Harris by seven, resulting in a 13-point gender gap. Trump leads among white voters (62%-33%), whereas black voters prefer Harris (82%-13%). Geographic divisions also exist, with Harris dominating urban areas and Trump excelling in rural regions. Both candidates are focusing on mobilizing their supporters to vote, as early voting records have already been set.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a dead heat in North Carolina with just a week to go until Election Day, according to a new WRAL News Poll released Tuesday. The results come one day before both major-party presidential candidates are scheduled to be in this key battleground state for a final get-out-the-vote push.

Harris, the Democratic nominee, and Trump, the Republican, were tied at 47% among likely voters. Another 2% said they planned to vote for one of the third-party candidates on the ballot this year. The remaining 4% were undecided. Trump had trailed Harris by 3 percentage points, still a statistical tie, in a WRAL News Poll released in September. Both the September Poll and the new survey released Tuesday were conducted by SurveyUSA in partnership with WRAL.

North Carolina is one of only six or seven states that are considered competitive in this year’s presidential election; Trump won the state in 2016 and 2020, including by just 1.5% of the vote in 2020.

Harris will be in Raleigh on Wednesday and Trump will be in Rocky Mount as the candidates seek to break that apparent tie in pursuit of the state’s 16 electoral votes, which are seen as critical to winning the White House.
