Pence continues to lose credibility with each passing day.

There seems little doubt Clinton has caught up, but precisely where the race stands now is a little cloudy. A new poll from the New York Times has Clinton ahead by 7 points, 46 percent to 39 percent, in North Carolina, while an equally new poll by Monmouth shows Clinton up by a single point, 47 percent to 46 percent. The RCP average of recent polls in the state has Clinton ahead by 2 points.

One of Mike Pence’s jobs, when he came to this city of 34,000, was to buck up Trump supporters, to tell them not to believe the media accounts suggesting Clinton is pulling away from Trump, both nationally and in North Carolina.

“It’s frankly obvious what the media’s trying to do, just over the last few days,” Pence told a crowd of a few hundred at Catawba College. “They’re trying to refer to some polling data to try to roll this campaign up. Well, the polls I’m looking at — Rasmussen’s got us up 2 across the country. Investor’s Business Daily has us up 1 across the country, and here in North Carolina, it’s a 1-point race. This race is on, North Carolina. Don’t let them spin you any other way. Don’t be fooled. This race is on.”
