Early voting data suggests Clinton lags in North Carolina compared to 2012

But a CNN analysis of early voting paints a very different picture and suggests that

Clinton has underperformed President Obama's 2012 performance in the Tar Heel State and

Trump has outperformed Mitt Romney.
​

It might seem that Democrats have built up a big early lead. More than 1.3 million Democrats have already voted compared to 990,000 Republicans.

But the raw numbers don't account for the 2012 results.

President Barack Obama built an early lead then

but got trounced by Mitt Romney on Election Day.
