Incumbent Republican Pat Harrigan holds a consistent polling edge over Democratic challenger Ashley Bell in North Carolina’s 10th district, rated Solid Republican with a Partisan Voter Index of R+9. Historical results and limited 2026 surveys project a Republican margin in the 10-20 point range, aligning with trader emphasis on the 10-15% bracket. Early voting underway and the November 3 general election timeline leave room for shifts driven by turnout among suburban voters in Forsyth and Catawba counties, fundraising differentials, or national political conditions. A stronger-than-expected Democratic performance or unusually high Republican mobilization could move the outcome across bracket thresholds, while the low probability assigned to a Democratic win reflects structural district leanings.
