McCrory’s numbers
With his polling numbers low, Governor McCrory needs to be way ahead in the upcoming fundraising numbers. Or he’ll be bleeding like an unlucky swimmer at Shark Week.
PPP’s recent poll “finds Pat McCrory hitting his lowest approval since he took office,” just 33 percent, with 48 percent disapproval. He’s trailing Roy Cooper 43-41.
Polls are one way to keep score in politics before Election Day. The other way is money. So we’ll be watching when the campaigns report next month on fundraising through July 31.
Normally, you expect an incumbent Governor to have a big lead in money. Not just a lead, but a big lead. If McCrory doesn’t – and if Cooper looks competitive – the sharks will be circling the Executive Mansion.
