Something ain't adding up. 52% disapproval yet he wins? Hmmm...
It most certainly adds up when you look at the breakdown:
Independents
Approve 57%
Disapprove 39%
A lot of that disapproval is Democratic vote in NC that disapprove of Obama, but vote for him anyway. This is true across the country.
Huh? The link shows Obama's approval/disapproval with indies as 35/56.
Oops. Misread the senior vote backwards... this is an odd result, but NC is 46% registered Democrat.
Point is, in general, that Obama has far better ratings with moderates/independent compared to his opponents. North Carolina independents might be more conservative.
