NC voters’ opinion of Pres. Barack Obama inched up in January and now is at 52% favorable, 37% unfavorable or a +15 spread, the widest its been since the beginning of the health care debate last summer.
Obama’s favorability rating basically fell off a cliff once the health care reform measure was launched last July bottoming out at a +3 in October and has been slowly climbing back off those lows. While his policies and proposals are widely opposed by NC voters, he still remains personally likable. But NC voters are separating their warm and fuzzy feelings for Obama the man and the icy cold feelings for his policies.

When did NC turn so blindingly liberal. I used to appreciate the balance in the state but this is rediculous. People are still drinking the Obama Kool Aid when all the guy does is talk pretty. (Which is often said but I refute the claim)
Wake up everyone, nothing is changing with this administration. What you didn’t like about Bush, benefiting corporations, expanding the government, spending like crazy…all these things are worse than ever during this admin.
