NC Poll: Obama Fav Rating Goes Negative
Posted by Kyle Trygstad | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
More North Carolina voters view President Obama unfavorably than favorably for the first time since taking office, a new Civitas Institute survey finds.
"Voter opposition to Obama's unpopular proposals like health care has finally caught up with his personal favorability rating," said Civitas analyst Chris Hayes. "Before, voters were able to separate their personally liking President Obama with his stance on issues, but this has now changed."
Just 65% of Democratic voters said they viewed Obama favorably, down 4 points from last month. Unaffiliated voters' feelings on Obama also changed -- while his favorable rating dropped just 1 point from March, those viewing him unfavorably rose 7 points.
The poll was conducted April 13-15 of 600 LV with a MoE of +/- 4%.
