About this Poll
The results of statewide polling commissioned by Piedmont Rising in North Carolina finds that
Senator Thom Tillis is deeply unpopular and is trailing Cal Cunningham by a significant margin
as the campaign enters its final weeks. Tillis continues to face major vulnerabilities for his health
care record. A majority of voters believe it is a major issue that Tillis wants to eliminate
protections for pre-existing conditions, and they move away from Tillis in the Senate vote upon
learning that he plans to confirm someone to the Supreme Court who could strike down this law.
The following are key findings from a poll of N=822 North Carolina voters conducted online
September 22-28, 2020, just days after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
