The presidential, U.S. Senate and Governor's races are tigtening up according to the polls. 
 
The website Real Clear Politics has averaged the slew of North Carolina polls and has calculated in the presidential race Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a 0.8 percentage point lead over Democratic Party nominee Hilliary Clinton as of Monday. 
 
It’s the first time Trump has been ahead in the average since June.
 
In the governor’s race, Democrat Roy Cooper has a 3.6 percentage point lead over Republican incumbent Pat McCrory in the RealClearPolitics average. That’s down from a 6.3 percentage point lead earlier in September. 
 
In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Republican Sen. Richard Burr has a 1.2 percentage point lead over Democrat Deborah Ross on RealClearPolitics. Burr’s lead has been cut sharply, down from 3.7 percentage points at the beginning of September. Two polls in the past week have given Ross a narrow lead, while others continue to favor Burr.
