Americans are United…on One Thing

WRAL released a new poll the other day.  Senator Richard Burr leads Elaine Marshall by fifteen points but Marshall shouldn’t take it personally as the reason Burr leads has little to do with her.
 
54% of the voters are Unfavorable to President Obama – and it’s no coincidence Senator Burr is getting 53% of the vote.  Obama’s in trouble which spells trouble for Marshall too.
 
Overall, Obama’s 54% Unfavorable to 34% Favorable.  A sea change from two years ago.  But who’s even more unpopular than Obama (or Marshall for that matter) is Governor Beverly Perdue.
 
51% of the voters are Unfavorable to Perdue while only 21% are Favorable.  How bad is that?  President Obama’s popularity has vanished among Independent voters, but Democrats still support him 61% Favorable to 26% Unfavorable.  By comparison, only a third of the Democrats still support Perdue.  The Governor is 34% Favorable to 34% Unfavorable among members of her own party.  The only demographic group sticking with her is liberals – who’re only 15% of the voters.
 
There’s only one varmint in politics more unpopular than North Carolina’s Governor:  Congress.  On one fact Americans stand united:  77% of us disapprove of Congress. While only 15% approve.  Men, women, young, old, Black, White, rich, poor, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, conservatives, liberals and moderates all disapprove of Congress.
