On Thursday, both Presidential nominees Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump move their campaigns in North Carolina to get the votes from this known swing state. According to survey polls, Clinton currently has a narrow lead over her opponent before the November 8 elections.

Both surveys from the New York Times/CBS and the Washington Post/ABC, showed that Clinton's lead is around 3 percentage points. The survey was done sometime after the announcement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding Clinton's misuse of a private email server while serving as the secretary of state. On October 28, the FBI reviewed a new batch of emails allegedy included in Clinton's misuse of her emails.

The times said in their survey, "About six in 10 voters over all said that the 11th hour disclosures about each candidate would make no difference in their vote."

It is also noted that more women support Clinton and Trump has the support of the men.

Reuters/Ipsos' survey varied from the other two surveys, citing that Clinton is leading the game by up to 6% points even if the FBI scandal was announced.

For any presidential contender, getting North Carolina is important because it can make their bid solid. In the side of the Democrats, Clinton will be speaking in two different events while the Republicans will have Trump speak in three events.
