• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Alamance GENDER: M AGE: 25-34 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt UnFav

  Incumbent presidents are more susceptible to getting into trouble in their second term as president. I also strongly disapprove of the health care bill. Other than that, everything he has done has been okay.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Alamance GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because of his stand on economics and health care and what he stands for.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Alamance GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because Barack Barack has put this country into even more debt and left us vulnerable.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Alamance GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I like his policies.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Alexander GENDER: M AGE: 35-44 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  The economy.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Beaufort GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  We need to get our country back the way it used to be. I believe Romney can accomplish this.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Brunswick GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I don’t approve of the way the president has led our country.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Brunswick GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I disapprove of every decision that Barack Obama makes.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Brunswick GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  He doesn’t think Barack is doing a good job.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Buncombe GENDER: M AGE: Ref PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: Nat Am OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Morally, I don’t believe in what Obama has done since he has been in office.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Buncombe GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Barack Barack has done this country a grate disservice. He has not done well for the economy.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Buncombe GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because I believe he has a much better economic plan and that is exactly what our country needs, as opposed to social policies.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Buncombe GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because I like his policies more.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Buncombe GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Obama is trying to move too much toward a Socialist agenda.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Buncombe GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  The current president doesn’t care about our Constitution. He does what he wants. He pledged to uphold it, but he is trying to be a king. He only upholds what he wants to. He has not upheld the Constitution. For example, he attacked Arizona for immigration law. He is trying to take the power of the state away.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cabarrus GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt UnFav

  Because I believe he is the lesser of two evils. If they would get a candidate that was going to bring moral values and return to the bible I would vote for them easily.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cabarrus GENDER: F AGE: 35-44 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because I would like to see a Republican back in office but Romney isn’t my first choice.

  Anything to get Barack out of there.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cabarrus GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I don’t agree with all the spending and his condoning same sex marriage.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cabarrus GENDER: F AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because we don’t need a large government and people taking advantage of the system.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cabarrus GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Fav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I don’t think the economy is doing well, and I don’t believe in the favoritism that he is giving to the unions, teachers, and the middle class. Thinking that they are the only ones that matter. He has made a lot of broken promises that he did not keep.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Caldwell GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I do not stand for Obama and taking god out of our lives, as in the Pledge of Allegiance. I think Obama would make it so much worse than it is already.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Caldwell GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Fav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I think we need someone else to try. Nothing in particular. We just need to get someone else in there.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Caldwell GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I don’t feel like Obama is heading in the right direction, time for a change. We need to bring jobs back from overseas, and I don’t approve of the ObamaCare program.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Carteret GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I feel a businessman can do a good job.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Carteret GENDER: F AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: No Opin

  The changes the president is trying to make to the constitution. He tries to move votes. He tries to pass bills when no one is paying attention. For example, on the weekends. He is trying to go for same sex marriage.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Carteret GENDER: F AGE: Ref PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I’m a Republican.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: Asian OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because Barack Barack is taking us to a dependent state, like a welfare state, that’s the main reason. He’s spending too much.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: M AGE: Ref PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: No Opin

  I think the Democrats are too liberal.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I am not happy with the way things have gone. The government has got their nose in too many things.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: F AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I’m voting for Romney because I believe he will bring the country in the right direction. I’m also against Obama. I feel strongly against health care.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  We are on the wrong track financially.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  We need change. Not because it’s Mitt Romney or because it’s Obama. We need change, so that’s why I’m choosing to vote for Mitt Romney.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Catawba GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Need to see major changes in lots of areas. Economic, jobs, immigration issues, moral issues, and foreign trade issues.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Chatham GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Fav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I like Mitt Romney because he is very smart and does not carry any baggage.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Chatham GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Fav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very UnFav

  Barack Barack created a good plan and is working on an economic plan, and Mitt Romney does not know how to be a president.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Chatham GENDER: M AGE: Ref PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Personal supporter of Romney.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Chatham GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: No Opin

  I think things have been screwed up for the last four years. If we give it to him again, we might as well give it up. I have a small business.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cleveland GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because we are not a socialist country and shouldn’t go there.

  Well, I know I do not want Obama back in. The country is in a hole and can’t get out, and I don’t know what the country would do if Obama got back in.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Columbus GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Way I feel and the way the country should go.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Craven GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Obama never had and still doesn’t have the experience and the background to be president. He was put in by a politically corrupt group in Chicago. I don’t know much about his background, but everyone that runs goes for President going into their background and says what they did when they were two years old. I just can’t stand the man, if that’s strong enough for you.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Craven GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I haven’t seen where Obama did anything he said he was going to do, and he has put us in a whole lot deeper debt than we have ever been in before. I like Romney’s business sense. Our economy needs to be turned around, and I think he is the man for the job.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Craven GENDER: F AGE: Ref PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Maybe I would like to see certain things change, and I think the Republican party can do that.

  The current administration is doing a bad job.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cumberland GENDER: M AGE: 18-24 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I feel that Obama has not done a good job, and we need someone new in the seat.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cumberland GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Obama is too liberal on all issues and is taking this country down with that approach, and at this point, I would vote for anyone to get him out of office.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cumberland GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because if we don’t get Obama out he’s going to destroy this country. No, I think I said it all.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Cumberland GENDER: M AGE: 35-44 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I believed in Obama and voted for him before but he’s just not done what he promised. With more investing the more I think negative of him.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Edgecombe GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I don’t think we should be a socialized country.

  Hopefully, Mitt Romney can get the country back on tract, lower the deficits, and what we need is to get jobs back from these other countries.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Forsyth GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I think we need a change. I feel that the situations are getting worse.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Franklin GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because he has completely ruined the United States and we cannot keep going on the way we are now. We would be behind all our competitors. We are completely headed to total ruination. We are deeply in debt, we are unemployed.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Franklin GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: Nat Am OBAMA IMAGE: Smwt Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Gaston GENDER: M AGE: 35-44 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Policy issues. Takes money from Wall Street. The health care program. I don’t agree with borrowed money and spending money, but he did not cut the deficit. Eric Holder can lie to Congress but Obama won’t get rid of him. Environmental Protection Agency. Environmental regulations are too strict.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Gaston GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because at this point I would rather vote for a monkey to get Barack out of the White House. I like Mitt’s ideas, but like I said, we just need to get him out of there, or there will be no country left to be proud of. The future of our country is uncertain with the current idiot that calls himself president.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Gaston GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I feel the country is absolutely going in the wrong direction. I see all the signs. I will vote for Romney who will put a stop to all this madness.

  Because I would vote for anybody against Barack Obama.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Gaston GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  There’s too much about Barack Obama. He is running like a socialist. Too many excuses and is not a leader.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Gaston GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  Because this country is being turned into a communist cess pool.

  I’m a just very conservative, and Romney represents me more than any others do, in my opinion.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Granville GENDER: F AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because of what he believes in and what I believe in. The gay amendment I do not approve of it. I don’t believe in it, I go by what I believe and I don’t approve of it.

  More against Obama. Because after four years, no budget. Deficit is out of control. Gas prices are going higher. Need more oil right now. Higher gas prices are affecting the cost of everything.

  Well, from what I have seen and heard from each one of them on public TV and such, I would have to vote for Romney. No, just in my mind, to me, he is the obvious choice. Color don’t make no difference to me. It’s principles.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Guilford GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Well, I think it’s the lesser of two evils. I think Obama is the worst, and he does nothing he said he would do. He needs to attack issues. Some of the things he says just dissatisfy me.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Guilford GENDER: M AGE: 55-64 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I got a bunch of reasons, but first of all, I don’t appreciate the blame game, and they don’t blame people that are putting jobs out there. And it may not be a race issue. It might be a financial issue. Obama sold us out to the Middle East countries.

  I’m for Romney. He’s going to be a good leader. He will put us back on the right economic track and be a good leader. Obama is immature and in over his head.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Halifax GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: Ref OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Because we are too much in debt, stop spending so much money. I don’t like the social issues, I don’t like the press not admitting it.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Halifax GENDER: M AGE: 25-34 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I think the debt and economy are the problem, and we have to quit spending more than is coming in. I feel that Romney will do a better job on the economy and get people back to work.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Harnett GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I am voting for Romney because I do not like socialism. I feel that Obama is shredding the Constitution and forcing things like health care on the American people.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Haywood GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

  I think that he advocates less government in public life, and I also think he will advocate no giveaway plans. Right now, he seems to be the best choice in my opinion. I know he is Mormon, but I’ll vote for a Mormon. That is pretty much my opinion.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Henderson GENDER: M AGE: 45-54 PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Very Fav

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Henderson GENDER: F AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I don’t think Obama is doing the job he should be doing. Obama is spending too much, and unemployment is too high.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Henderson GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  Romney has a record of fiscal responsibility. We need his skills to address the federal government’s debt.

  I just think Romney has more experience with the issues that are important right now than Obama does.

• CHOICE: Def Romney COUNTY: Johnston GENDER: M AGE: 65+ PARTY: IDEOLOGY:   RACE: White OBAMA IMAGE: Very Unfav ROMNEY IMAGE: Smwt Fav

  I think the government owning General Motors is bad, and that’s all on Obama. Government should not get involved in private business. The stimulus was a bust, and they still let them ship jobs to other countries.
