Fox News: North Carolina Senate poll: Budd, Beasley neck and neck less than 2 weeks from Election Day

North Carolina’s Senate race is in a dead heat, with Democrat Cheri Beasley and Republican Ted Budd tied at 44% of registered voters, according to a new Marist Poll.
Beasley and Budd boast identical favorability ratings of 38%, and independents are split 40% to 39% in favor of Beasley.
North Carolina is a key purple battleground state, and this year’s midterm election race is especially high stakes as the Senate remains deadlocked at 50-50. Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, currently has the deciding vote.
The Marist Poll was conducted Oct. 17-20 with a sample size of 1,130 registered voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
