interesting that Jarod thinks that the election shows a trend against Trump when the Republican won the district with four times more votes than the margin in 2018......
"Dems admit Trump helped GOP candidates sweep North Carolina special elections."

"In a major victory for both President Trump and national Republicans, North Carolina GOP state Sen. Dan Bishop was projected to win a fiercely contested special U.S. House election for the 9th District that was widely seen as a bellwether for the president's chances in the 2020 election.
And another Republican House candidate, Greg Murphy, decisively won a separate special election in North Carolina's more solidly GOP-leaning 3rd District earlier Tuesday evening -- frustrating Democrats who spent millions trying to make a splash in the state.
Even Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairwoman Cheri Bustos acknowledged that the president contributed to Bishop's win, writing in a statement that "we fell an inch short tonight, but it took more than $6 million in outside Republican spending and a last-minute Trump rally" to seal Democratic candidate Dan McCready's fate in the 9th District.
McCready's campaign spent approximately $4.7 million on the race, while Bishop's spent only $1.9 million. Outside spending primarily from national party committees helped Bishop to the tune of $5.8 million, though, compared to McCready's roughly $1.4 million.
The clean sweep heartened the president, who has long emphasized the national implications at stake. Trump unloaded on McCready in the fiery rally on Monday night, telling attendees that "to stop the far-left, you must vote in tomorrow's special election."
That effort, Trump said late Tuesday, had clearly paid dividends."
Dan Bishop Republican 96,081 50.7%
Dan McCready Democrat 92,144 48.7
“One down, one to go,” Trump tweeted, referencing Republican Greg Murphy’s race in North Carolina’s heavily conservative 3rd Congressional District. Murphy eventually beat Democrat Allen Thomas by 24 points.
The last poll that I saw had McCready up by 4 points.
Don't believe polls.

After your last massive failure at predicting the 2016 election result, you might want to keep your own council on the matter this time round.
Yet, another "Defeat that's 'really a win' "!! for the increasingly unstable left....
Be afraid, bitch. That area has been Republican since 1963. And the best you can do is two points?
Failure does not embarrass me, especially when others did not even try.
This is what I am talking about, excuse them if the Rumppers are extra cranky today.
I think they spent $6.5 million or so on the R candidate.
