North Carolinians believe Biden has a better plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic than Trump

North Carolinian likely voters are tied when asked if they would support former Vice President Joe Biden (47%) or President Donald Trump (47%) if the election for president were held today.

In the race for Senate, Democrat Cal Cunningham (48%) and incumbent Republican Thom Tillis (44%) are in a statistical dead heat for the seat among likely voters.

About 44% of North Carolinians approve of Donald Trump’s job performance as president, slightly higher than the national average.

About one-third of North Carolinians are looking for a candidate for president who can help the country recover from the COVID-19 pandemic (30%), 19% want a candidate who can restore trust in government, and 18% prefer a candidate with a strong economic plan.

When it comes to specific issues, Trump (46%) is perceived to have a better plan than Biden (40%) on the economy. 

However, slightly more North Carolinians believe Biden has a better plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic than Trump (Biden – 45%, Trump – 40%), and that Biden would be more likely to restore trust in government (Biden – 44%, Trump – 38%).
