(The Center Square) – Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in a statistical dead heat in the battleground of North Carolina, a new poll released just days ahead of absentee by mail ballots going out says.

With margin of error at +/- 3%, the Harris-Tim Walz ticket for Democrats leads Republicans’ Trump-J.D. Vance 48%-47%. The poll from the ECU Center for Survey Research has just 3% undecided, and a poll question on vice president picks shows selections of the Minnesota governor or the Ohio senator, respectively, was not detrimental with voters and if anything, more than affirmed their choice.
