This poll of 600 likely 2012 general election voters in North Carolina was conducted October 17-18 2011 by National Research, Inc. of Holmdel, NJ. All respondents were part of a fully representative sample of probable 2012 general election voters in North Carolina. For purposes of this study, voters interviewed had to have voted in 2006 or 2008 or be newly registered to vote since November 5, 2008. (November 5 is the day after the election)
The confidence interval associated with a sample of this size is such that: 95 percent of the time, results from 600 interviews (registered voters) will be within +-4% of the “True Values.” True Values refer to the results obtained if it were possible to interview every person in North Carolina who had voted in the 2006 or 2008 general elections or is newly registered since November 5, 2008.

Still not true representation of the makeup and demographics of the citizens of North Carolina. You folks just don’t get it!. Do yourself a favor, and don’t bother doing these bogus polls, unless you are willing to do the work and use a true representation of the population of the state, other than the male/female percentage.

All I have to say is vote Gov Perdue out ,and to all those who want free pre-K is to spend time with your children and read to them .teach them honor and respect and responsibility from an early age ,
Parents have money to get their nails and hair done ,instead buy books for your children .
Education starts at home
And it is time for us to do something about all this illegals in N.C .who is also dragging the system down ,foodstamp.medicaid ,welfare checks ,And those same people will not learn to speak English or teach their children.then drive .and why are providing spanish materials for them .
Dave Burton says
Wayne, Civitas doesn’t poll “the citizens of North Carolina.” They poll the VOTERS of North Carolina. That’s the demographics they’re matching, and they’ve got it pretty close to spot-on.
Jim Womack says
The CIVITAS polling almost always reflects the mood and predisposition of likely NC voters more accurately than Gallup, Harris, or any of the other pollsters. Some of the CIVITAS 2010 pre-election polling was eerily accurate.
PBO is in trouble in NC. He and the DNC know that well- evidence is the national democrat convention being held in Charlotte and all of PBO’s bus trips and town halls here. Moreover, Gov. Perdue is toast in 2012. In future CIVITAS polls, just watch how well McCrory polls in a head to head against her. He is on a path to win in a landslide referendum against Perdue. Now, if he will only make it official he is running!
If you want a legitimate forecast of NC election results in 2012, this is the place to come.
Tarheel Texan says
Looking at Q18, it shows that 46% of North Carolinians approve of the destruction /dismantling the US.
Carolina Girl says
I can’t see why anyone would think Obama or Perdue have done anything to help this counry or this state unless they are what I call the “For Free Crowd”. That means they make a living by living off our tax dollars!!!
Brian Selby says
I find it utterly appalling that anyone could think that Obama and Perdue can be strongly favorable and strongly approved of. I’ll admit I strongly agree that Obama is a good reader of the tele prompter but I also would have to say I strongly disapprove of his handling of the economy and jobs!
As for Perdue, I strongly beleive she is one of the biggest hypocrits of todays NC politics. How do you veto ID cards yet require 2 forms of ID for fund raisers and DNC conventions?
Really???
Pamela says
I am appallled that Gov. Perdue vetoed the voter ID bill passed by the state legislature! We have to show ID’s for everything else we do, but not to confirm we are eligible to vote and we are who we say we are through picture ID? This makes no sense! This veto only helps people who have something to hide or who want to vote illegally!
bob hodgman says
Unfortunately,what we have here is something called a Push Poll. This is typical of Right Wing back room political organizations such as Civitas, an organization almost entirely funded by wealthy,Art Pope. For truth ,Google “Art Pope Revealed”
Citizens are waking up about this man and will not let him buy another legislature.
donna H says
Well gee. When Civitas wants the result it wants,it just runs a bogus poll.
