North Carolina Governor's Race Now Favors Democrats

Recent polling and fundraising give Democratic candidate Josh Stein a significant lead over Republican Mark Robinson.

Sabato's Crystal Ball has updated its forecast from 'toss-up' to 'leans Democratic'.
Stein leads Robinson by 14 points in the latest High Point University-SurveyUSA poll.
Stein has raised $13.8 million compared to Robinson's $5.1 million in the second quarter.
Robinson has faced controversy over past comments on LGBTQ issues and abortion.
If elected, Stein would be North Carolina's first Jewish governor and Robinson its first Black governor.
