Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) leads his Democratic challenger Deborah Ross by just one point, 48-47, in a new poll of likely voters out Monday by CNN/ORC.
In the larger pool of registered voters, the lead is flipped, with Ross ahead 49-46.
The CNN/ORC poll was conducted Oct. 10-15 and surveyed 788 likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
CNN/ORC previously surveyed likely voters in the North Carolina Senate race on August 18-23, which showed Burr with a five point lead, 50-45.
TPM’s Senate Scoreboard rates the North Carolina race as “Leans Republican.”
TPM’s PollTracker Average has Burr ahead of Ross by 2.5 percentage points, 48.5 to 46.
Once again,if Trump were to pull off a miracle, he would likely have a GOP majority congress as sufficient backup.
Clinton wouldn’t likely have that luxury.
