Polls can be off and things may change between now and election day, buy a jam-packed new poll provides some interesting input on where North Carolinians currently stand in a number of political races.
A new High Point University poll released Thursday, Sept. 24, has former Democratic NC Gov. Roy Cooper leading Republican Michael Whatley by 8 percentage points in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race – but the Senate contest might not be the most interesting number in the poll.
The survey found Democratic candidates leading Republicans not just in the Senate race but on every generic ballot question HPU asked.
Cooper led Whatley 50 percent to 42 percent among likely North Carolina voters – with 3 percent choosing another candidate and 5 percent unsure.
Likely voters favored Democrats over Republicans 48 percent to 44 percent for the U.S. House, 48 percent to 44 percent for the North Carolina House and 49 percent to 44 percent for the North Carolina Senate.
In the North Carolina Supreme Court race, Democratic Justice Anita Earls held a much narrower 46 percent to 44 percent advantage over Republican challenger Sarah Stevens.
The results come less than six weeks before the Tuesday, Nov. 3 election and add to a series of recent polls showing Cooper ahead of Whatley.
An East Carolina University poll conducted Aug. 31 through Sept. 3 had Cooper ahead 46 percent to 39 percent, with 14 percent undecided. When respondents were required to choose among the candidates rather than remain undecided, Cooper led 52 percent to 44 percent.
A Trafalgar Group poll released Sept. 13 had Cooper ahead 48 percent to 42 percent.
And a Carolina Journal/Harper Polling survey released Sept. 17 produced a considerably larger margin: Cooper ahead 49 percent to 34 percent and 12 percent undecided.
Taken together, the polls differ substantially on the size of Cooper’s advantage but have agreed on who is ahead.
The new HPU poll is also notable because it shows some movement since the university’s August survey.
In August, HPU also had Cooper at 50 percent, but Whatley was at 45 percent. That means Cooper’s support is unchanged in the latest survey while Whatley’s dropped 3 percentage points.
The movement on the congressional ballot was larger.
In August, HPU found likely voters evenly divided at 47 percent for the Democratic candidate and 47 percent for the Republican candidate for U.S. House. The September poll has Democrats ahead 48 percent to 44 percent.
That four-point Democratic advantage in North Carolina is significant, but it’s actually smaller than the Democratic advantage showing up nationally: The Real Clear Polling average of national generic congressional ballot polls Thursday had Democrats at 50.4 percent and Republicans at 41.9 percent – an 8.5-point Democratic advantage.
That means that the HPU survey portrays North Carolina as moving in the same direction as the national electorate but remaining several points more Republican than the country overall.
That wouldn’t be particularly surprising in a state that has remained closely divided politically.
President Donald Trump carried North Carolina in 2024 with 50.86 percent of the vote to 47.65 percent for Democrat Kamala Harris, a margin of just over 3 percentage points. During the same election, North Carolina voters elected Democrat Josh Stein governor.
The HPU poll also provides another indication that the political environment facing Republicans is difficult nationally – although some of its findings are less negative for Trump than in the national polling.
Trump had a 43 percent job approval rating among North Carolina likely voters in the HPU survey, with 52 percent disapproving. The Real Clear Polling national average has Trump at about 40 percent approval and 58.5 percent disapproval.
So Trump actually performs somewhat better in the HPU North Carolina poll than he does in the current national polling average.
Recent individual national polls have varied a lot. Rasmussen had Trump at 43 percent approval and 56 percent disapproval, while NPR/PBS/Marist had him at 39 percent approval and CNN had him at 33 percent.
HPU’s own polling also does not show Trump deteriorating from August.
In the August HPU poll, 42 percent approved of Trump’s performance and 54 percent disapproved. In September, those numbers moved slightly in his favor to 43 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval.
That makes the movement on the ballot questions especially interesting.
During roughly the same period in which Trump’s HPU approval rating improved slightly, the U.S. House generic ballot moved from a tie to a four-point Democratic advantage and Whatley dropped three points against Cooper.
The poll therefore doesn’t lend itself neatly to the conclusion that Republican candidates are losing ground simply because Trump’s personal standing has declined.
Vice President J.D. Vance performed considerably better than Trump in the new HPU survey, with 48 percent approving of his job performance and 43 percent disapproving.
North Carolina voters also appeared somewhat less pessimistic about the country than voters nationally. HPU found 57 percent saying the country was on the wrong track and 37 percent saying it was headed in the right direction.
Recent national surveys have generally shown larger wrong-track margins. A Sept. 22 Economist/YouGov poll found 67 percent saying the country was on the wrong track and 29 percent saying America was headed in the right direction. Rasmussen and Quantus polls released Sept. 21 both had 60 percent saying wrong track and 35 percent saying right direction.
North Carolinians were considerably less negative when asked about their own state. Forty-one percent said North Carolina was headed in the right direction and 46 percent said it was on the wrong track – with 12 percent unsure.
That represents an improvement from HPU’s August poll, when only 35 percent said North Carolina was headed in the right direction and 48 percent said it was on the wrong track.
There were also some surprisingly large changes in views regarding government institutions.
Approval of Congress jumped from 22 percent in HPU’s August poll to 33 percent in September, while disapproval fell from 65 percent to 53 percent.
Approval of the U.S. Supreme Court increased from 36 percent to 44 percent while disapproval fell from 45 percent to 40 percent.
Those relatively large one-month changes are also a reminder not to treat every movement between two polls as a genuine change in public opinion.
HPU surveyed 1,003 North Carolina adults between Sept. 6 and Sept. 16, including 706 respondents classified as likely voters.
The poll was conducted online using respondents from a Dynata panel rather than a traditional random sample. Since participants weren’t randomly selected, HPU says a conventional margin of sampling error shouldn’t technically be assigned to the results.
HPU instead reports a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points for the likely-voter sample.
That interval also means the two-point Earls-Stevens Supreme Court margin and the four- and five-point generic ballot differences should be viewed differently from Cooper’s eight-point advantage.
And, while no single poll can establish where an election will finish, HPU’s new survey adds another result to a collection of September polls that have consistently shown Cooper ahead of Whatley while also showing a political environment in North Carolina that currently differs from the one that gave Trump a three-point victory in the state less than two years ago.
Polls aren’t the important numbers that republicans need to worry about….it’s gas prices, interest rates, and inflation. Those are the numbers that republicans need to address. not the polls.
Cheers
Are they worried about electricity prices? If so….
Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) proposed a bill called the “Ratepayer Protection Act” that would require data centers to build their own power infrastructure so none of that cost is passed on to consumers.
The House passed the measure 417 to 3 before Senate Democrats killed it. “The president wants it, House Democrats and Republicans want it, consumers want it, the business community wants it, but Senate Democrats blocked it.
I’m pretty sure the Senate Dems blocked it because it was a Republican led bill, and Dems don’t want prices to come down.
If the Bill 417 would have actually protected anything, they would have passed it. The bill merely ‘asked’ state regulators to CONSIDER standards which is clearly ineffective. The bill only suggested standards rather than mandating that large-load data center absorb 100% of their grid expansion and generation costs. The dumb thing relied on voluntary pledges rather than any real legal accountability.
Democrats pushed for REAL legislation with direct federal oversight under the GRID Savings Act which would give direct authority to compel data centers to fully pay for their grid connection and power infrastructure upgrades. REPUBLICANS BLOCKED IT.
Bill 417 was just a show piece of legislation with no teeth as it was non-enforceable messaging bill rather than a substantive fix to rising electricity and utility bills driven by AI data center growth.
Hope that helps.
I agree with your analysis. Naming Bill 417 the “Ratepayer Protection Act” was about as credible as the Biden administration’s “Inflation Reduction Act” which did nothing of the sort.
Great comparison
unaffiliated voters THE MAJORITY vote what? unaffiliated voters THE MAJORITY reject mutt & jeff – minority rule ?
Yeah, Cooper promises to “Make Stuff Cost Less” with a wave of his magic wand. But slogans are easy. Results are harder. And remember, Coop wanted to raise taxes in NC. He will want to do the same in the Senate.
Using daily West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices, historical data show that oil exceeded $100 per barrel:
Obama: 308 days
Trump’s 1st term: 0 days
Biden: 83 days
Trump’s 2nd term: 24 days
Funny you leave the causes of these spikes in oil prices.
Obama: Post Great Recession Demand Recovery, Arab Spring and Middle Eastern Supply Disruptions, OPEC Price actions go fight US massive growth in shale production
Trump 1st Term: Global Economy tanked demand for oil due to covid…..(not the real positive win you seem to think it was I guess)
Biden: Ukraine War, Post Pandemic Demand Surged ahead of Production ramping back up
Trump: US needless war with Iran that it is embarrassing losing
So, three were global economic supply and demand issues and one was self-inflicted.
Hope that helps. Cheers
Gas prices are up due to the war in Iran started by Trump…Inflation is following …Trump Tariffs increase the cost of things….Trump blames everyone else and is not honest enough to admit he is responsible. Trump calls North Carolina a “disaster” We need leaders that help us not him or his chosen.
Not one human gave a hoot when Bidens gas prices were much higher. No one cares Cooper let out felons.
You Commies hate America.
Sure we cared then and we care now. We care enough to understand the underlying issues driving up prices. For example, with Trump it is his useless failure of a war with Iran. With Biden it was the supply delays in meeting post covid recovery demand and then the Ukraine war.
Hint: Felons get let out of prison all the time. Another Hint: Our president is a convicted felon.
Not sure what either of those topics has to do with Communism but you be you.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

What did Cooper do so great for NC in 8yrs as Governor? Shut businesses and Church’s down for Wuhaun bs?
This is from Hillsdale College:
This year we marked the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which makes clear that our rights are inalienable and the government ought to be limited.
The signers of that document pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in its defense.
The Declaration’s principles are the foundation of our Constitution, which was signed 239 years ago on September 17, 1787.
But today, many of our fellow citizens reject the principles of the Declaration and seek a radical transformation of the Constitution putting the liberty of all Americans at risk.
Think about this when you cast your ballot.
Right, Trump’s disdain for the laws as established in the constitution and his party’s refusal to hold him accountable means we need to vote blue this midterm and restore the importance of the constitution.
I have dim views about Trump’s tariffs, his handling of Iran, the proposed $5,000 voting scheme, his miracle COVID vaccine, his combative public persona, and his support for license plate readers.
Without the Republicans in the NC General Assembly, NC would be even more of a disaster. Biden and Cooper tried their best to ruin our state.
Was it the infrastructure bill from Biden that so many conservatives took credit for once the money came into the state that upset you so much? Funny how you can be so specific about the Republican failures of Trump but didn’t (or maybe couldn’t) name the failings you accuse Biden and Cooper of for making NC less great? Interesting.
Cheers
• Roy Cooper ran for NC Attorney General in 2000, his first statewide election. With the race considered close between Cooper and his opponent, Dan Boyce, Cooper’s campaign consultant, Morgan Jackson, said Boyce’s campaign should be “hit hard.”
“Hitting hard” to Roy Cooper meant lying, and that is just what he did. In a campaign ad for Attorney General, Cooper changed the legal fee charged by Boyce’s law firm in a case from $1,200 per hour to $28,000 per hour. Even a judge believed the lie saying that the fee “shocked the conscience.” Cooper knew it was a lie, but he wanted to win at any cost. Cooper won and most likely the lie helped Cooper win.
After the election, Dan Boyce sued Roy Cooper for defamation based on the lie that Cooper knew was a lie because he had admitted so in a deposition. And even after all that, Cooper still dragged Boyce’s defamation case out until 2014 before Cooper finally settled with Boyce. I do not know who paid Cooper’s legal fees for over a decade, but a wager says it was not Cooper. However, another wager is that Boyce paid his own legal fees. No wonder Cooper dragged the suite out, if he were not paying his own legal fees.
Cooper is a dirty politician. Morgan Jackson is the campaign consultant in Cooper’s campaign for NC Senate. Birds of a feather.

For voters who believe in honesty, vote for Michael Whatley.
• During Roy Cooper’s term as NC Attorney General, Cooper issued an opinion that helped the issuance of driver’s license to undocumented immigrants. Cooper sided with nonprofit groups advocating for undocumented immigrants: Siembra NC (nonprofit that advocates against ICE,) ACLU, and nonprofits outside NC.
For voters who believe in the rule of law and that illegal immigrants should be deported, vote for Michael Whatley.
• Cooper is a prominent pro-choice (abortion) advocate. Cooper vetoed Senate Bill 20 in 2023, a bill that would have banned most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy, arguing it created “dangerous interference with the doctor-patient relationship” and disproportionately harmed rural and low-income women. His veto was overridden in the NC legislature by a single vote, allowing the ban to take effect.
For voters who believe the unborn need and deserve protection,
vote for Michael Whatley.
• As governor, Roy Cooper vetoed three bills (2019, 2022, and 2024) that would have required NC sheriffs to cooperate with federal immigration and ICE agents. Cooper faced organized lobbying from Siembra NC, which pressured him to veto House Bill 370. The NC legislature finally overrode his 2024 veto. Roy Cooper was protecting illegal immigrants over North Carolinians.

For voters who believe in the rule of law and that illegal immigrants should be deported, vote for Michael Whatley.
• In 2023, Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the ‘Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” which was aimed at restricting or banning transgender men (biological males) from taking part in athletic divisions. The NC legislature overrode Cooper’s veto.
For voters who believe in two biological sexes (male and female) and believe that only biological females should take part in women’s sports, vote for Michael Whatley.
• On April 20, 2020, the ACLU and NAACP filed a lawsuit challenging prison conditions during the Covid pandemic. The lawsuit, NC NAACP v. Cooper, was the only similar lawsuit that the NAACP was a plaintiff. What is it about NC and the NAACP? I believe the NC lawsuit was the only lawsuit where a governor only was named defendant. It would be interesting to learn why. The North Carolina Department of Safety (DPS) announced through a press release the landmark settlement requiring the early release of at least 3,500 inmates on February 25, 2021. From April 2020 to February 2021, 10 months, Cooper signed a settlement with the ACLU and NAACP. A lawsuit that Cooper did not have to settle. Cooper has said that he had no choice and that he had consulted with ONE NC Supreme Court Justice about the lawsuit convincing him that the state would not win. Could the Justice Cooper consulted be Anita Earls, a civil rights lawyer? Roy Cooper’s declaration that he had to settle, my friends, is a lie; another lie told by Roy Cooper. He could have chosen to go to trial, forcing the ACLU and the NAACP to prove their case. The settlement has been described as among the largest prison releases in the country achieved through COVID-19 litigation. Did the NC taxpayers pay the legal fees of the ACLU and NAACP? If so, how much did the taxpayers of NC pay to release 3,500 inmates with some reports reporting as many as 4,200 inmates. Despite Cooper and his administration first claiming that only nonviolent offenders were released, prison officials later admitted that some violent offenders were included. More than 560 released inmates were rearrested for new offenses within two years, with a reported 48% recidivism rate among the group.
Roy Cooper has proven that he is a liar. Is that what voters want in their senator? I don’t.
Cast your vote for Michael Whatley for NC Senator. Early voting starts October 15.
• On August 22, 2025, a deranged criminal stabbed to death a beautiful, young Ukrainian immigrant on a train in Charlotte, NC on her way home from work. Something so ordinary and something thousands do every day. There was no provocation to entice the criminal, Decarlos Brown Jr., to kill the beautiful Iryna Zarutska. But he did.
While Roy Cooper did not directly cause the death of Iryna Zarutska, his “soft on crime” attitude permeated law enforcement and the courts. Only four short years earlier, Roy Cooper had signed the release of 3,500(+) inmates because they might get sick with Covid. Simple logic would suggest to me that prison would be safer from Covid than walking around in public, not having any information about the person walking next to you.
Don’t let Roy Cooper in the Senate where he will take with him his “soft on crime” attitude.
Vote Michael Whatley for Senate. Early voting starts October 15
Excellent, TermLimits, I agree 100%.
In early 2021, the General Assembly made multiple attempts to force schools to reopen for full-time, in-person instruction. Cooper vetoed multiple reopening bills.
Then there’s government competence.
More than $800 million in fraudulent and improper unemployment claims occurred under Cooper’s watch. His administration also pursued Medicaid expansion for years, even as concerns about improper and fraudulent claims persisted.
And now North Carolina has become a focus of federal scrutiny over CDL training and licensing. The NC DMV acknowledged that many applicants had been incorrectly identified in its system as U.S. citizens. Lawmakers sought additional verification of citizenship and immigration status. Cooper vetoed the legislation in 2019, arguing existing safeguards were sufficient.
Expensive incentives. Missed job targets. Rising energy costs. Educational setbacks. Massive improper unemployment payments. Controversial policy decisions. Time and again, taxpayers picked up the tab.
Cooper was recently asked about the early release of 4.200 inmates and if he had any regrets. Coop said folks were disappointed that he didn’t release more.
Cooper’s Senate campaign would like voters to focus on what he says he will do. North Carolinians should focus instead on what he already did.
Political slogans don’t erase a record. And before Roy Cooper asks North Carolina voters to send him to Washington to make America better, perhaps he should first explain why his record suggests he couldn’t get North Carolina where it needed to go.
North Carolina deserves more than promises. It deserves results.
Still trying to blame an insane man stabbing a woman on the Governor? The Governor who had nothing to do with the man’s release from police custody, or custody of the mental hospital? Crime went down under Cooper.
Funny how when I wrote a letter about Trump’s lies and the historic level of his lies from the White House you defended him with the idea that lying is something all politicians do…..no big deal? Whatley is a long-time Big Oil lobbyist pushing lies against Climate Change, Green Energy and Public Health. THOSE lies truly hurt American’s today and especially our future.
But about the $28,000 per hour accusation: It has a bit a truth to it…Judge Manning apparently calculated that the attorneys’ requested contingency fee, if expressed as an hourly rate based on the amount of work performed, would equal roughly $28,000/hour. While the judge didn’t award that amount….that IS the amount Boyce was asking….so not exactly a lie. Just left out some details as your telling of the story did as well.
If you support women’s right to proper medical care without the doctor’s risk of political prosecution, vote for Cooper. I think women deserve to make the often-hard decisions themselves with their doctors versus having a guy in congress tell her what is best for a challenging pregnancy. Especially when the life of the mother is at risk.
If you believe immigrants provide critical economic value to our economy and think that all people driving cars should be traceable, then vote for Cooper who understands the value of immigrant labor to NC farmers versus Republicans who have driven crushing tariffs, trade wars, and increased costs of fuel, seed, and fertilizers causing sharp increase (almost 50%) in farm bankruptcies. Not to mention how the aggressive over enforcement by ICE has pushed out even legal immigrants from working in agriculture all across America.
Vote Cooper. He appreciates the impact of conservative’s policies on the average working family in this country versus our current administration that claims ‘affordability’ a made-up issue by democrats while the Republican congress sits on their hands!
Cheers
Oh, professor, what is your problem? Yes, Cooper did have a lot to do with the magistrate releasing the career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr., back on the street to kill beautiful Iryna Zarutska. It was Cooper’s “soft on crime” attitude that permeated the courts that caused the magistrate to believe that it was okay to release Brown back onto the streets that caused the consequences of the magistrate’s action. Cooper cannot escape that this murder happened under his watch. A man that has supported his family for 40 years with taxpayer money. Let’s say you have a manager who allows racial slurs in the workplace. Who would you blame for this behavior? Even though the manager did not make the slur, the manager is in charge, and it is the manager to whom you would complain. Same thing with Cooper, his attitude allowed for Iryna Zarutska’s death.
All politicians might lie, but when one is sued for defamation after willfully lying under oath and then
drags out the suit for over a decade draining the pockets of the man he defamed, I will not vote for him to enter the halls of Congress and I hope others will join me in voting for Michael Whatley. When someone is testifying in a court of law, they swear to “tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” It cannot be “a bit of the truth,” as you say. Remember, Cooper was under oath when he lied. He should have been charged with lying under oath. NC courts do not pursue lying under oath as they should and that’s why there is so much lying under oath, no consequences.
professor, I do not agree that abortions are medical care. This is a lie that was told to make abortions acceptable and legal. It is said in the wording, Woman’s Choice. It is estimated that in the US, well under 1% of annual abortions are done to save the life of the mother. Why can’t we just be honest and say that abortion is a CHOICE? New York has now made abortions legal at full term. This is barbaric. At the photo op taken at the NY governor signing, the governor was surrounded by women, all smiling and apparently happy about murdering full term babies. And the women, all White and all appeared to be of childbearing age. Cooper wanted abortions over 12 weeks to be legal. Would Cooper be okay with full term abortions? I would not want to risk someone like Cooper in the Senate to find out. NC is a pro-life state and should be very proud to be. I see no difference in a full-term abortion and waiting until delivery and killing the baby. What is the difference?
You mention immigrants. My remarks were directed at ILLEGAL immigrants. But I will say that there should be work permits for non-Americans who want to work here. But the permits and workers should be monitored. H1B visas should be eliminated. Corporations abuse H1B visas by not hiring Americans.
Roy Cooper is not a conservative and will vote right along with AOC, Chuck Schumer, and all the other deranged Democrats in the Senate. As governor, Cooper had the Republicans in the legislature to try and keep him in line. Cooper is lazy.
Vote for Michael Whatley.
Do you even try to research outside of conservative news propaganda. DeCarlos completed 100% of his minimum prison sentence for a prior armed robbery conviction. He was released 9/20/20 which was months before the Feb 2021 pandemic settlement. He was included in the list associated with the Feb 2021 release retroactively because he was already on post-release supervision at the time. The settlement did NOT shorten or altern his custody status.
He didn’t lie. A contingency that would have made his hourly rate approximately 28k per hour. It was true. Again, it is weird for a Trump supporter to make claim of dragging out a defamation suit….given Trump’s history in this area. But you be you.
Abortions are indeed medical care and are often required for a number of reasons. Yes, many are selective but also many are required due to complications with the pregnancy. Women should have the right to choose what to do with their body with the aid of a doctor. Not a politician pushing a personal religious narrative.
I believe that the way ICE has ignored constitutional rights is disgusting and has driven away even legal immigrants which has been crushing to many farmers and other industries. But to be clear, Trump’s treatment of all immigrants from countries of color has caused economic harm. His across-the-board revocation of protective status of many immigrants who have been doing hard working jobs in the US for decades has hurt many industries. The end doesn’t justify the means in this case clearly.
Cooper will vote for the interest of hard-working people of NC. Whately will push for more of the harmful Trump agenda that is crushing small businesses and hardworking Americans.
Vote Cooper.
My God! You cut and pasted all of this only to watch Whatley fall to the ground in pieces like a clay pigeon!
Do you really believe I “cut and pasted” my remarks? My comment to you is that apparently you really don’t read very much.
I do not vote based on polls. I have my own opinions and will act on those opinions.
Cooper is lazy, that why he has remained on the taxpayer dime for 40 years.
Vote Michael Whatley. Early voting begins October 15
The “soft on crime” mantra just doesn’t fly. Trump took that title when he let 1200 Jan 6 rioters off the hook. And let’s not forget about the 100+ white collar criminals he’s pardoned. Whatley has nothing else to hang his hat on so he’s going to try and take us back to the 80s. Problem is there is a Willie Horton in the news everyday now.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Whataboutism doesn’t fly.
Crime is down across the State under Cooper’s leadership. Fact.
streb, the January 6 participants were not criminals. You know nothing about the “white collar” pardons. Have you been reading People’s World again? You know that reading this can distort your mind.
Term, If you believe that, I’ve got some oceanfront property to sell you in Arizona.
500 of the people released by Trump were charged and convicted of using weapons or inflicting serious physical harm on federal, Capitol, or Metropolitan police officers. They used a wide range of weapons against officers, including bear spray, pepper spray, stolen police shields, metal flagpoles, batons, stun guns/Tasers and makeshift projectiles like rebar and chunks of concrete.
The vast majority of people released under Cooper’s settlement were non-violent property crimes, drug offenses, DUI offenses or Probation violations.
Trump forgave violent offenders because they committed their crimes on his behalf….Cooper settled a lawsuit against the State.
They are NOT the same thing.
streb, please name the J6 attendees who had criminal records prior to January 6. History will prove the dirty dealings of the government during and after January 6. The dirty dealers are still living. Once they are dead, the true history will be written.
Crimes since release?
Zachary Alam: Home Invasion
Ryan Nicols: Deadly conduct and harassment (pulled gun on someone in a church parking lot)
Bryan Battisti: Assault
Andrew Johnson: Child molestation
There are 97 more with unrelated criminal charges. Too many to list here.
Yes, they will show a President who released a seditious group of violent protestors who violently attacked police because he believed that they supported his unjust cause of holding onto power in spite of losing a free and fair election. By far the most disgusting use of pardon powers in the history of the office.
