Übersicht

In North Carolina, not only are about a third of registered voters Democratic, a third Republican, and a third unaffiliated (view our Voter Registration Statistics page for details); but also, top-of-ballot contest winners in our state historically have been a mix of Republicans and Democrats, even in the same election.

Over the past half a century, North Carolina has voted for 12 Republicans and three Democrats for U.S. President, while also voting for four Republicans and 11 Democrats for N.C. Governor. In eight of the past 15 presidential elections, North Carolina voted for a president and governor of different parties.
