Tonight we have the last of our topical discussions for the year. Topical group discussion may be defined as an activity in which a small number of people meet face to face and exchange and share ideas freely or attempt to reach a common-sense decision on a specific theme. Participants bring up ideas, solve problems and give comments.
More than 1.1 million North Carolinians have already voted in the 2022 general election. The largest group of North Carolina voters — those registered as unaffiliated — are less interested in early voting than Democrats and Republicans. More than a week into one-stop early voting, Democrats lead the turnout for early voting and absentee mail-in ballots, followed by Republicans and unaffiliated voters in a close third.
The two most recent presidential elections in North Carolina were both decided by less than 4 percentage points. In the 2020 election, incumbent President Donald Trump (R) won the state over President Joe Biden (D), 49.9% to 48.6%. In the 2016 election, Trump carried North Carolina with 49.8% of the vote to Hillary Clinton's (D) 46.2%. At the start of the 2022 election cycle, Inside Elections rated this state Battleground Republican.
