How Mark Robinson's porn scandal will impact Trump in North Carolina

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : 'When you have an electorate that is split so down the middle like North Carolina, if you get an extra 1 percentage points because your governor's running next to you has a really good ground game of getting to vote out and motivating people and pulling in all the supporters for local candidates to also align with the governor and align with the presidential candidate, that can make a difference.'Husser says that Robinson's campaign has 'stalled out' those hopes for Trump, but that Josh Stein, the Democrat running in the state's gubernatorial race, is 'doing well.'At least 10 Republican individuals and groups have canceled events with Robinson so far, and several local politicians and lawmakers have deleted images with the candidate from their social media.
43% : North Carolina, which has 16 Electoral College votes, went red in 2016 and 2020 for Trump.
34% : In 2016, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 3.6 percent.
32% : Husser recently released a poll taken pre-porn scandal that put Vice President Kamala Harris 1 percentage point ahead of Trump in North Carolina - 46 percent to 45 percent.
15% : Elon University Political Science Professor Jason Husser, who is also director of the university's polling, said that Robinson's scandal likely won't 'harm Trump in terms of convincing people... to suddenly change their mind about him.''I do think, though, that Robinson's troubles are not helpful to Trump in another way, which is that: Governor's campaigns can help turnout.
