Los Angeles Times : Leans Clinton CNN : Tossup Sabato 's Crystal Ball : Leans Clinton NBC : Tossup Electoral-vote.com : Leans Clinton RealClearPolitics : Tossup Fox News : Tossup ABC : Tossup Prior to the 2016 election, North Carolina had been a Republican stronghold since 1968 with the state voting Democratic only once between then and 2008. In 2008, North Carolina voted Democratic for only the second time in 40 years. However, the state returned to the Republicans in 2012 when the party 's nominee, Mitt Romney, carried the state. Throughout the 2016 campaign, North Carolina was considered by most a tossup state, the outcome going into election night was heavily debated. Despite winning the state, Trump, in someways, under - performed in comparison to Romney in 2012. Romney won a majority of the vote in 2012 with 50.4 % while Trump only managed a plurality of 49.8 %. Similarly, Clinton also under - performed in comparison to Obama, with Clinton winning only 46.2 % in comparison to Obama 's 48.35 %. This situation was the result of the spike in votes for third party candidates in the state as 4 % of North Carolinians voted for a candidate other than the Democratic and Republican nominees in 2016 as opposed to just 1.26 % in 2012. An increase in turnout in North Carolina allowed both Trump and Clinton to out - perform Romney and Obama in terms of the total votes each candidate received. In 2016 Trump won around 92,000 more votes than Romney did in 2012 while Clinton won around 10,000 more than Obama. Furthermore, Trump also outperformed Romney by winning North Carolina by a greater margin than Romney was able to as Trump won the state over Clinton by 3.6 % compared to the 2 % margin Romney won over Obama. Trump 's win in North Carolina marked the 9th time the state has voted Republican in the last 10 elections and, therefore, the state continues to leans more Republican at the presidential level. However, the Democratic victory in the concurrent gubernatorial election, changing demographics and very close margins, suggest that the Republican advantage in the state is waning and that it will remain a `` battleground state ''.
