The poll finds that the NC legislature has a dismal approval rating of 15% and a disapproval rating of 60%. The dominant party in the capitol, the Republicans, get a thumbs up from 28% of the people polled while the Democrats did a little better by achieving 33%.
When North Carolinians are asked if the election for the General Assembly were held today and they had the choice for voting for a Democrat or a Republican without the candidates being identified, 43% would vote Democrat, 42% would vote Republican.
The poll cites this is having an effect on Governor Pat McCrory's approval ratings as well. "McCrory and the General Assembly are often at odds, the average voter just sees one big unpopular Republican state government without differentiating too much between the legislators and the Governor. The good news for McCrory is that usually when the legislature goes home his numbers get better, so we'll see if that pattern repeats itself again this year."the poll states.
North Carolinians will vote for their state senators next November and will determine if Governor McCrory will receive a second term.
