Perdue job approval surges

[ccharles000]

A poll found that 43 percent of state residents approved of the job Gov. Bev Perdue was doing at the end of October, a surge of 14 points from earlier in the month.

The results were included in the Civitas Institute poll conducted Oct. 20-21, right about the time Perdue, a Democrat, was expressing outrage over a court ruling that could lead to the release of violent inmates with life sentences, said Chris Hayes, senior legislative analyst for Civitas.

The poll of North Carolina voters found that 43 percent approved of Perdue's job performance compared to 49 percent who disapproved. Another 8 percent were unsure.

Earlier in the month Civitas found that 29 percent of voters approved of her job and 63 percent disapproved. The remaining 8 percent were unsure.

The job approval is some of the first good news Perdue has seen on poll results in a long, long time.

It really threw me off when it said Perdue was a Democrat. :-) Somehow, I don't think Sonny Boy's ratings have been surging lately.
