North Carolina's Supreme Court is at stake in November. Which party leads in a new WRAL News poll
WRAL NewsNorth Carolina’s high court includes four Democrats and three Republicans, but that could change with the Nov. 8 election.
To flip the state Supreme Court back in their favor, Republicans must win at least one of two seats up for grabs. With five weeks until Election Day, the GOP appears to be on stronger footing, according to a WRAL News Poll released on Tuesday. But undecided voters sway the races either way.

Republican Court of Appeals Judge Richard Dietz is leading Democratic Court of Appeals Judge Lucy Inman in his bid to fill the seat of retiring Democratic Associate Justice Robin Hudson, the poll shows. The survey shows Dietz with 37% support and Inman with 32%. Thirty-one percent of respondents were undecided.
Meanwhile, Republican Trey Allen is in a statistical tie with Democratic state Supreme Court Associate Justice Sam Ervin IV. Allen has 39% support, Ervin has 37%. Twenty-four percent of respondents were undecided in that race.
