Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is maintaining her lead over Republican Donald Trump in North Carolina, according to two surveys released on Monday.

Clinton holds a one-point lead in a survey conducted by Bloomberg Politics at 44/43.

Meanwhile, a Quinnipiac University survey of likely North Carolina voters shows Clinton with a three-point lead over Trump both head-to-head (49/46) and when Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is included in the survey (46/43).

Both the Bloomberg and Quinnipiac surveys show that North Carolinians think Clinton won the first presidential debate held last Monday.

Bloomberg shows those surveyed felt Clinton won by a 50/38 margin, while the Quinnipiac poll shows a 49/24 breakdown of voters feeling Clinton came out on top.

The Bloomberg poll also showed 45 percent of respondent said Monday’s debate made them more likely to vote for Clinton and 30 percent said it made them more supportive of Trump.

A Public Policy Polling survey released last week showed a flip of support from Trump to Clinton following the debate. A PPP poll from September 21 found Trump with a two-point lead. The survey released after the first debate had Clinton with a two-point lead.

North Carolina has been called a ‘must-have state’ if Trump is going to win the White House, while being seen as the possible cherry on top for Clinton on Election Day.
