Democrats Are Leading By An Astounding 27 Points In North Carolina Early Voting

A PPP poll of North Carolina found that Democrats aren't just saying that they will vote, they are showing up at the polls to early vote in massive numbers.
Republicans won North Carolina in 2012 by shaving off 100,000 early votes from Obama’s 2008 total. The GOP has taken ten steps backward in 2016 as indicators suggest that Republican early voting turnout is dropping with Trump at the top of the ticket.
Democrats need to build a large advantage in early voting because Republicans tend to show up in bigger numbers on election day. If Hillary Clinton and the Democratic get out the vote operation build a big enough advantage, the state will be unwinnable for Trump.
Trump’s very narrow path to the White House requires him not to lose a single state that Mitt Romney won in 2012. If Trump loses North Carolina, the door will be slammed shut on any hopes that he has of pulling an election night surprise.
The encouraging news for Democrats is that voters are not just telling pollsters that they support Hillary Clinton and the Democratic slate in North Carolina. Voters are stepping and going to the polls in overwhelming numbers.
Nothing has been decided yet, but if early voting is any indication, Democrats in North Carolina are fired up and going to the polls.
