A new WRAL poll from Survey USA (PDF download) gives Gov. Bev Perdue a favorable rating of 23 percent, with 40 percent giving the governor unfavorable marks.
The poll offers no great news for the state’s U.S. senators, either. Republican Richard Burr, who’s running for re-election, is on the plus side when it comes to favorability, but by only a hair: 28 percent favorable vs. 27 percent unfavorable.
Meantime, Democrat Kay Hagan is even less popular than Perdue, with a 22 percent favorable rating (though she’s also disliked less than the governor; her unfavorable rating is 28 percent).
If you do the math, few North Carolinians (or at least few of those surveyed) think much — literally — about any of them. Half the respondents had either a neutral opinion or no opinion at all of Hagan; 47 percent said the same of Perdue; 45 percent of Burr.
As for the fall Senate race between Burr, Democrat Elaine Marshall, and Libertarian Michael Beitler, Burr came out ahead, 46-36-6 respectively, suggesting that voters may not be crazy about Burr, but a near-majority is willing to vote for him.
