Gravis still showed McCrory slightly ahead, 45/42.

Hagan should definitely consider a run.

High Point University puts McCrory at 47/37 approvals, which is definitely one of the better approval spreads he's had during his term.

Burr is as anonymous as ever, at 36/29. Hagan is leaving office at a Perdue-esque 36/48 Tongue

Nah.

I think Cooper is the strongest choice and I'm glad he's running.

Burr will win.

Considering what happened with Tillis versus Hagan, I am inclinded to think that McCrory does too, though it will be rather close and no where near what 2012 looked like.

National Journal says McCrory is the  most vulnerable GOP governor.

Even if they changed the qualifier to "Most vunerable governor", the only one that might be more competitive than North Carolina is Montana (Bullock seems pretty tough) and maybe New Hampshire.

Doesn't Hassan have a pretty high approval rating? It is New Hampshire, but still, that has to count for something.

Most vulnerable Governor is definitely Bullock, considering 2012 was an unusually strong environment for Montana Democrats, that may not be repeated even in the event of a Hillary landslide (and 2014 was a very ominous sign, while a very encouraging one for McCrory), but McCrory is definitely in second place and is the most vulnerable Republican. I think polls have already been released showing Bullock down to Tim Fox, while McCrory still has always (except maybe in 1-2 polls, can't recall) led Cooper.

Granted it's Gravis, but one Gravis poll had Bullock down 8 to Ryan Zinke.

McCrory leads Cooper 46/39, per PPP.

Worth noting: Cooper is only getting 59% of blacks in this poll.

I was under the impression that McCrory did a fairly good job as mayor of Charlotte and had been well-received by moderates and blacks. Why did he decide, upon becoming governor, to start acting like this guy?

Two words: Art Pope

Long version: Pope is to North Carolina Republican politics what folks like Sheldon Adelson, the Koch bros., etc are to national politics.  McCory seems to have sold his soul to Pope to be Governor (although in fairness, I suspect he's always been at least somewhat right-wing on economic issues since that seems to be the case with most socially moderate Republicans).  Where he seems to have shifted most is on social issues, especially becoming so anti-voter's rights.  However, I suspect that stems more from his willingness to trample on the democratic process to help Republicans win elections (like Pat McHenry, McCrory strikes me as an especially unscrupulous Republican hack).  Miles can correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.

Sean Haugh is making noise about a possible candidacy for Governor:

There's already one declared Republican: Ken Fortenberry, who ran against Pat McHenry in the 2012 primary.
