Civitas poll: McCrory’s approval ratings slump
CBS North Carolina ^ | 04/29/2016 | CBS North Carolina

Posted on 05/02/2016 3:32:49 PM PDT by Cyberman

A poll released Friday afternoon by the conservative group North Carolina Civitas showed Gov. Pat McCrory has the lowest approval ratings of his administration and trailing Attorney General Roy Cooper in the race for governor.

The poll of 600 likely voters was done April 23-25 and has a margin of error of 4 percent.

The poll shows 49 percent of North Carolinians have an unfavorable view of McCrory, the highest percentage since he has been governor. Only 39 percent have a favorable opinion, the lowest number of his time in office. In an October poll, by comparison, McCrory had a favorable rating of 54 percent and unfavorable rating of 37 percent.

Cooper, who is challenging McCrory in the race for governor, has only a 35 percent favorable rating and 20 percent unfavorable rating. He had a favorable rating of 52 percent in October, according to the poll.

But head to head, Cooper leads McCrory 46 percent to 36 percent at this point, according to Civitas....

If the election were today, 38 percent would pick a Republican for the General Assembly and 45 percent would pick a Democrat....

Evidently the people of NC badly want to poop in the next stall from members of the opposite sex (or gender or whatever it’s called).

Again, the national, state, and local negative media coverage sets the agenda, McCrory has been good for NC.

Civitas didn’t call me - I am with Pat all the way.

Ah liberal CBS.

The fools will not be happy until traditional America goes the way of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The perversion of everything rots from the usurper fish head down.

I don’t know anyone personally who doesn’t favor HB2. The leaders of the Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal churches are on record in opposition. But not publicized is that the people in the pews, for the most part, favor it.

McCrory and his allies just removed a Tea Party Conservative from chairmanship of the GOP in North Carolina.

The governor vetoed a religious freedom law last year protecting gay marriage dissenters.

Things like that distract from any benefit of the law reversing the Charlotte transgender ordinance.

He still has a 10 point lead over the Demon Rat, even after the full court press to put men in women’s restrooms.

A lot of this are the large number of liberal Yankee transplants to the Golden Triangle.

Appears so. The Founding Fathers are no doubt spinning in their graves, mouths agape.

The flood of New Yorkers are having an effect already...

I live in the mountains of NC. We need to build a wall 40 ...er... 80 feet high to keep them out.

Have you noticed how people in the pews seem fully oblivious to the antics of their denominations?

Plus native-born Tar Heelers are too divided among themselves to unite against the liberal Yankee influx.

yes, the topic is seldom if ever mentioned.

Now, the coffee table down at the restaurant is vocal.

This is what happens when you try to make everyone happy. Is he now behind because he threw the religious right under the bus? Or is he behind because he didn’t kick the entire bill out?

Most North Carolinians- with the exception of Raleigh, Charlotte, and Asheville- are center-right people. I trust that McCrory will soundly defeat Cooper when the actual vote arrives.

We voted to amend our Constitution to define marriage, and won with 61% of the vote. The sickos on the court overturned it.

Roy Cooper has stated he will not defend NC from HB2 legal challenges. Just one more in a long line of honorable, centrist NC Democrats (Jim “Saf-a streets, saf-a skeewls” Hunt, Mike Sleazely, Barv Purdue).

I overheard a conversation in the gym yesterday between one of our corrupt former County Commissioners (or is that “former corrupt County Commissioners”) and an older black man. They agreed that McCrory had made a tactical error.

I could have said, “Of course you’d say that, being men,” but instead I just said, “Excuse me, gentlemen,” as I negotiated around them to get to my weights.
