Disagree.Another poll showed Cooper would beat Tillis by 9 points.
Tillis has been consistently unpopular for years as well
Seeing that Cooper and Stein (A.G.) are the only Democratic politicians with popularity and broad name recognition in our state --- and Cooper is not running for Senator but for Governor again... I believe it is unlikely that either one will be replacing Tillis.
EDIT addition - Seeing that your post is based on the PPP "Democrats Have Edge, Energy in North Carolina For 2018" from January of 2018 --- yet the Democrats still are a minority in both our chambers of our state legislator after the 2018 election --- further emphasizes the point that Democrats still have significant issues with traction in our state.

If a black candidate is on the presidential ticket NC will have high black voter turnout and they will vote democrat down the ticket.There is likey to be high black voter turnout even without a black candidate because they hate Trump
Any democrat has a good chance of replacing him in 2020 by riding the coat tails of the dem presidential nominee.
I agree that a black candidate will help Democratic turnout in our state among blacks. If the Democratic candidate is an extremist rather than a moderate it will also drive a large number of conservatives to the polls.
However one thing to keep in mind that our rural counties have many religious Christian Blacks who tend to vote for Republican conservative religious-right candidates. This does not imply these people will vote for Trump who is not religious, but it will impact other races in our state.
Any Democrat? Can you identify one Democratic candidate in our state who can possibly take out Tillis in 2020? You need to exclude Cooper and Stein who stated already they are not running. The Democratic bench is very weak in North Carolina.
Like it will stop Democrats from doing so? They are free to do so. It will be challenged in court! The only reason the Democrats are fighting hard against this is because President Trump may actually, win his case! Then, they would not be able to stop the border wall! In this case there is a real emergency with tens of thousands of illegals (foreigners) trying to storm and cross our borders! Medicare for all or Gun control will not pass the test of being an emergency. Apples to oranges comparison. Not even close!

• Tillis found support from whites, veterans, religious voters and married voters with children. Hagan was more successful with women, black voters (Hagan won 96 percent of their votes), urban-dwellers and those who consider themselves moderate or liberal.
The reality is that Trump will veto the bill from Congress regarding emergency powers for the wall. Congress will not have the necessary votes to override the veto. The courts will decide the validity of his emergency declaration for the wall.
The entire vote in Congress is for optics, positioning, and publicity.
Tillis knows that the emergency declaration for the wall in North Carolina is not popular among the military, businesses, farmers, or the general population. His vote is aligning himself with over 70% of his constituents.
