A Civitas poll says that Gov. Bev Perdue is less popular than Mike Easley:
“Despite all the controversy surrounding the former governor, the voters of North Carolina are more upset about the current economic conditions and the loss of jobs in the state – issues they lay at the foot of Governor Perdue,” said Civitas Institute executive director Francis De Luca.
Voters specifically singled out Perdue’s signing of a budget that cut education funding and raised taxes as a significant factor in her unpopularity.
“It shows the level of voter dissatisfaction with the current administration and its policies,that Perdue would be viewed more unfavorably than a politician under state and federal investigation,” added De Luca.
Ouch.
