Polling: Bush’s approval remains under 50 percent in NC
The Elon University Poll has new results out this morning. There’s a lot to chew on, but some first blush figures from North Carolina:
- President Bush’s over-all approval rating saw an up-tick but remains below 50 percent. The last time that more than half of respondents said they approved of the job he was doing as President was in March of 2005. This time about, 45.2 percent gave him a favorable rating.
- A little over 6 percent of respondents listed immigration as the “most important” issue facing the country, that number was 12.4 percent in the state. More than 75 percent of voters said it will influence how they vote, which is up there with health care costs and terrorism.
- When asked which party they’ll support in the next election, 35.5 percent say Democrats, 29.6 say Republicans, and 27.4 percent say they don’t know.
Usually, the poll folks post data and analysis later in the day. I’m going to curl up with some of these numbers to see what else can be found.
