Donald Trump is up 11 points over Ted Cruz just ahead of the North Carolina primary on Tuesday, according to the latest survey from Public Policy Polling.

The numbers were released late Sunday night and show strong gains for Trump, 15 points, and Cruz, 14 points, over the last month.

Those increases are attributed to some candidates dropping out of the race and support for Marco Rubio falling nine points to four percent.

Meanwhile, Ohio Governor John Kasich has remained steady at 11 percent.

In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, Trump still leads Cruz but the margin falls to 49/43.

While Cruz would stand to benefit from Rubio and Kasich supporters immigrating to his camp, Trump has the most committed supporters with 89 percent saying they will “definitely cast their ballots for him.”

The survey showed Hillary Clinton maintaining a 19 point lead over Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination at 56/37 in North Carolina, which would be similar to how neighboring states have voted. Clinton has built up a 68/29 lead among respondents who had early voted, with a much tighter margin remaining for those who said they would be voting on Election Day.

Clinton, Sanders, Trump and Cruz have all made recent campaign stops in the Tar Heel state.

In other races, both Richard Burr and Deborah Ross appear to be set to cruise to victories and meet in the general election for US Senate in November.

Burr, the incumbent Republican, has a 28 point lead over Greg Brannon with the two other challengers polling at less than five percent.

Ross, meanwhile, has a commanding 32 point lead over Ernest Reeves and Chris Rey with Kevin Griffin bringing up the tail end of the pack.

It appears the leading candidates for Governor will also have large victories on Tuesday. Incumbent Republican Pat McCrory has a 63 point lead over his closest challenger. Attorney General Roy Cooper has a 53/17 lead over Ken Spaulding to represent the Democrats on the gubernatorial ticket. Cooper has a 68/22 lead over Spaulding among early voters.

PPP says the seemingly-locked-in McCrory/Cooper race for the governor’s mansion is “likely to be the premier Governor’s race in the country this year.”

Democratic primary voters supported the Connect NC bond 67/18, but Republican voters have just a 47/43 favorability rating of the bond.

Early voting closed on Saturday.

Polls will be open across the state from 6:30 Tuesday morning until 7:30 in the evening.

Voters will also be deciding the local races for the Orange County Board of Commissioners because all of the candidates running are Democrats.

According to the Orange County Board of elections, 19,989 voters cast ballots during the early voting period across the county.

WCHL will have live coverage from polls throughout the day and will go with live election coverage beginning at seven o’clock on 97.9 FM/1360 AM WCHL and streaming at chapelboro.com.
