Title: NC: Public Policy Polling: McCrory holds steady 7-point lead Post by: Miles on July 11, 2012, 11:47:53 AM New Poll: North Carolina Governor by Public Policy Polling on 2012-7-8 (https://uselectionatlas.org/POLLS/GOVERNOR/2012/polls.php?action=indpoll&id=3700201278108)
Summary: D: 36%, R: 43%, U: 12% Poll Source URL: Full Poll Details (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_NC_071112.pdf) Title: Re: NC: Public Policy Polling: McCrory holds steady 7-point lead Post by: Miles on July 11, 2012, 11:52:57 AM Some other tidbits:
-Barbara Howe has been doing consistently well in the last few polls. PPP says that she may be actually hurting Dalton more: Quote That is because Howe is surprisingly pulling more support from Democrats (9%) than Republicans (5%); Democrats make up over 45% of the electorate. Howe also takes 14% of independents, and essentially none of them are potential McCrory voters. - Both GA Ds and Rs have underwater 36/48 favorables. That, sadly to me, doesn't suggest that the Ds are in a position to gain back very many GA seats in the fall, especially in the wake of the Ruchomander. Voters also dislike the GOP budget 24/46. -Other than the Governor's race, other statewide races seem to be close, with high undecideds. I would have liked to see a Lt. Gov. poll included though.

Then I suspect you haven't look at the polls from other firms. The only poll from the last few months that has McCrory up double-digits is a Rasmussen, which seems like an outlier. |
