DailyKenn.com — Voters in North Carolina will choose a new U.S. Senator next year after Sen. Richard Burr retires.
Leading the polls is a woman who hasn't even announced a campaign: Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law.
The wife of Eric Trump was named by 32.4 percent of Republicans polled. She also received a 66.6 percent favorability rating, the poll showed.
When asked whether they consider themselves to be more a supporter of former President Trump or the Republican Party, a majority — 54.7 percent — chose the former, according to the Cygnal poll.
The former president’s continued influence — and the influence of his family name — will likely prove difficult for GOP Senate candidates to get out from under.
Roughly one third of respondents — 34 percent — said they believe Lara Trump is the Republican most capable of winning the 2022 general election against the eventual Democratic Senate nominee, compared with about 20 percent who chose Robinson and 15 percent who picked McCrory.
