Most political observers believe that state down-ballot campaign issues do not have a bearing on presidential candidates' performance. But this governor's race is quite wilder than usual.

He is bad enough of a candidate that low propensity voters that do not want him will get off the couch and vote.Most political observers believe that state down-ballot campaign issues do not have a bearing on presidential candidates' performance. But this governor's race is quite wilder than usual.

While they are in the booth, they might as well vote for POTUS. I like the odds that the people that find Robinson repulsive will not have much love for Trump either. So, yes, the abhorrence of this candidate will help Harris..... how much, it remains to be seen, but its giving her a better shot at winning NC. Also, the get of the couch vote is usually under the radar of polls.
I know people of both parties here with problems that outweigh the election, so I don't know.I'm more concerned about how continuing Hurricane issues in the democratic part of Western NC will impact turnout.
So I know for a fact that Asheville VA hospital is open to patients outside of Asheville itself, so I'm willing to bet Asheville is doing better than most of the rest of the area (my dad uses that hospital because it's closer than the one near me by about an hour or so to him, he just went there in the last week). Asheville is the main area in Western NC that is blue, the rest is red.I'm more concerned about how continuing Hurricane issues in the democratic part of Western NC will impact turnout.
Of course it will. To what degree? That comes after.Most political observers believe that state down-ballot campaign issues do not have a bearing on presidential candidates' performance. But this governor's race is quite wilder than usual.
The thing about this race is much more about whether people are encouraged to come out to vote just to vote against Robinson. If that is the case, then many of those who wouldn't have voted at all may be influenced to vote for Harris too. Laziness plays a role in our elections.Rove was on a few weeks ago saying up ballot influence is very rare. That influence is nearly always the other direction, according to Rove.
