Mark Robinson Vows to Stay in Race Despite Polls

Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson has vowed to stay in the race despite trailing in recent polls. Robinson, who won the GOP primary in March, is facing an uphill battle against Democratic challenger Roy Cooper.

Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, has vowed to stay in the race despite trailing in recent polls.

Robinson, who won the GOP primary in March, has been polling behind Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper in recent weeks. A poll released last week by Emerson College showed Cooper leading Robinson by 12 points, 53% to 41%.

Despite the polls, Robinson said he is confident that he can win the election. He said he is counting on a strong turnout from his base of supporters.

"I'm not going to let the polls get me down," Robinson said. "I'm going to keep fighting for the people of North Carolina."

Robinson has been campaigning on a conservative platform that includes tax cuts, school choice, and gun rights. He has also been a vocal critic of Cooper's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cooper, meanwhile, has been campaigning on a more moderate platform that includes investing in education, healthcare, and infrastructure. He has also touted his record of bipartisanship and his work to expand Medicaid.

The race between Robinson and Cooper is expected to be close. Both candidates have raised millions of dollars, and both have the backing of their respective parties.

The election will be held on November 8, 2022.

Robinson's decision to stay in the race is a risky one. If he loses, it could damage his political career. However, if he wins, it would be a major upset and could send shockwaves through the Republican Party.

Cooper, meanwhile, is the incumbent and is considered the favorite in the race. However, he is not without his vulnerabilities. He has been criticized for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and for his support of gun control.

The race between Robinson and Cooper is one of the most closely watched races in the country. The outcome of the election could have a significant impact on the direction of North Carolina.
