The races for United States Senate and Governor in North Carolina are too close to call, according to a new round of survey numbers released Wednesday.

The numbers from Quinnipiac University continue an almost daily release of numbers from North Carolina as the Tar Heel state has been drawing attention as it may determine the winner of the presidential race, which party controls the Senate and is home to the most heated gubernatorial race in the country.

The Quinnipiac poll shows Republican incumbent Senator Richard Burr and Democratic challenger Deborah Ross tied at 46 percent. Just last month, Quinnipiac had Burr up six points over Ross at 49/43.

Meanwhile in the race for the Governor’s Mansion, Republican incumbent Governor Pat McCrory has cut into the lead of Democratic challenger Attorney General Roy Cooper in the latest survey. Cooper still holds a two-point lead at 48/46. In September, Cooper’s lead was 51/44, according to Quinnipiac.

Quinnipiac University Poll assistant director Peter A. Brown said in a release that he expects attention to remain focused on North Carolina as the election is approaching.

“North Carolina is a very evenly divided state. The presidential race, and the reelection battles of two Republican incumbents, Gov. Pat McCrory and Sen. Richard Burr, are all too close to call. This in a state that little more than a decade ago was strongly Republican.”

Quinnipiac released presidential survey results from North Carolina earlier in the week showing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton up three points over Republican Donald Trump following the first presidential debate.

Other surveys from Bloomberg and Elon released throughout the week have shown Clinton up between one and six points and Cooper up by four and six. A Bloomberg survey released on Monday showed Ross up two points but other surveys have also shown the race being tied.
