Reading this article, heat is raising up in North Carolina as the Senate race between Kay Hagan and Thom Tillis as both Democrats and Republicans are neck-and-neck. Firstly, It is told that President Barack Obama was able to ride Kay's victory due to the presidents coattails* back in 2008, and in 2012, North Carolina fully became Republican. After a while in office, her republican challenger, Thom Tillis, came to oppose Kay and the seats in senate.
The outlook from this is that Democrats and now lagging whilst the Republicans are opposing Barack Obama, and that while money has been pour and pour into both sides of the race, North Carolina's race is still the same as when this race started, neck-and-neck with one another.
*coattails - the tendency for a popular political party leader to attract votes for other candidates of the same party in an election.

As from watching this video, the political culture still seems to be a consensual political culture, as no real hate is thrown between the people that are voting this year. However, there has been some frequent mudslinging going on between the two candidates, and it's especially shown with the commercials trying to stick stigmas on both Incumbent senator Kay Hagan and candidate Thom Tillis.
When it comes to who might win this election, and knowing what kind of state North Carolina is, which is a Red/Republican State, My imaginary money would go to Republican Candidate Thom Tillis, if only because a Republican State would indeed want to have Republican Senators to uphold their party. If this would become so, North Carolina would become 100% republican with republican senators representing the states.
