"Only 18% of voters approve of the job the General Assembly is doing to 54% who disapprove.
Perhaps as an extension of that, Tillis has just a 23% favorability rating with 45% of voters rating him unfavorably."
"On a couple of the more recent hot button issues the legislature has dealt with, voters do not support the Republicans' approach. Only 31% think funding teachers raises through the House's proposal of increased lottery sales (19%) or the Senate's proposal of cutting teacher assistants (12%) is a good idea,
while 55% would prefer getting that money by raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year. Even Republicans (40/39) would prefer increasing taxes on the wealthy to either the House or Senate's proposal."
"North Carolinians support the proposal President Obama made requiring existing power plants to cut carbon pollution by up to 30%, 58/23. Democrats (71/12) and
independents (59/20) both support it overwhelmingly and even Republicans (42/39) do narrowly."
"The student loan bill going through Congress right now divides Kay Hagan and Richard Burr, but voters are much more on the Democrats' side. By a 74/13 spread they say they support letting students refinance their loans at the current lower rates,
and that has at least 69% support across party lines."
"Finally increasing the minimum wage to $10 an hour continues to be popular as we find every month in North Carolina. This time the numbers break down 55% supporting it to 34% who are opposed."
All great news in North Carolina this month.
