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 North Carolina was considered by most a tossup state, the outcome going into election night was heavily debated. The state had been a Republican stronghold going back to the 1970s until President Obama carried the state in 2008, however, he lost it in 2012 to Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Trump 's margin of victory increased from Romney 's and made it a state that has voted Republican in 9 of the last 10 elections and therefore leans more Republican. Given the change in demographics and very close margins, the state will remain a `` battleground state ''.
