Cooper Leads by 5 Points in New Poll | Raleigh News

A new High Point University poll shows North Carolina’s Senate race tightening, with Democrat Roy Cooper leading Republican Michael Whatley by just five points — a stark shift from earlier polls showing double-digit margins. Experts say this may reflect the more realistic, close-to-5-point range typical of North Carolina statewide races as Election Day nears. Both campaigns remain cautious: Cooper’s team knows Democrats haven’t won here in nearly 20 years, while Whatley’s camp insists they’re closing the gap. National sentiment also plays a role — with most voters saying the country is headed wrong and disapproving of Trump, Whatley’s alignment with the former president could be a liability as November approaches.
