Incumbent Democratic Governor Roy Cooper is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third consecutive term in office. This is the only Democratic-held governorship up for election in 2024 in a state Donald Trump won in 2020. Background [ edit ] A typical swing state, North Carolina is considered to be a purple to slightly red state at the federal level, but has both of its U.S. senators belonging to the Republican Party. However, some state-wide offices are held by Democrats including the governorship, secretary of state, and attorney general. In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump carried North Carolina by just 1.3 percentage points.[1][2] The incumbent, Roy Cooper, was first elected in 2016, defeating then-incumbent Pat McCrory by 0.2 points. Cooper was re-elected in 2020 by 4.5 points.[2][3] The 2024 election is expected to be very competitive, as North Carolina is a purple to slightly red state and this election is taking place in a presidential year, and the incumbent is term-limited making this seat open. The only Democrat that has declared their candidacy is Josh Stein, the current Attorney General. Two Republicans have declared their candidacy; Mark Robinson, the current Lieutenant Governor, and Dale Folwell, the current State Treasurer.[4] Democratic primary [ edit ] Declared [ edit ] Potential [ edit ] Declined [ edit ] Endorsements [ edit ] Polling [ edit ] Hypothetical polling Poll source Date(s) administered Sample size[a] Margin of error Mandy Cohen Jeff Jackson Josh Stein Other Undecided Public Policy Polling (D)[A] October 7–8, 2022 606 (RV) ± 4.0% 18% 12% 22% 9% 39% Republican primary [ edit ] Declared [ edit ] Announcement pending [ edit ] Potential [ edit ] Endorsements [ edit ] Polling [ edit ] Hypothetical polling Poll source Date(s) administered Sample size[a] Margin of error Dale Folwell Pat McCrory Mark Robinson Thom Tillis Mark Walker Other Undecided The Differentiators (R) December 12, 2022 500 (LV) ± 4.0% 6% - 60% - - - 34% - 21% 60% - - - 19% - - 58% - 8% - 34% Public Policy Polling (D)[A] October 7–8, 2022 606 (RV) ± 4.0% 4% - 54% 20% - 5% 17% Libertarian Party [ edit ] Declared [ edit ] Mike Ross, businessman[20] General election [ edit ] Predictions [ edit ] Polling [ edit ] Notes [ edit ] a b c Key: A – all adults RV – registered voters LV – likely voters V – unclear Partisan clients a b c This poll was sponsored by Carolina Forward ^ This poll was sponsored by the NC Values Commission ^ This poll was sponsored by the Carolina Partnership for Reform References [ edit ] [END] --- [1] Url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_North_Carolina_gubernatorial_election#Polling_2 Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
