That number is within the margin of error.
Clinton continues to do well in the Northeast and West but Trump remains competitive with her in the Midwest and South. Only 37% of North Carolina voters said they have a favorable opinion of Clinton, while a majority – 55% – said they have an unfavorable opinion. They view the GOP nominee a little more favorably – 41 percent.
