Interview selection was random within predetermined election units. These units were structured to correlate with actual voter participation from past elections.

• The poll of 800 likely general election voters has an accuracy of +/- 3.46% at a 95% confidence interval.

• Paul Shumaker served as project manager for the survey.

Ideological Profi le of North Carolina VotersIF YOU HAD TO LABEL YOURSELF, WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE A LIBERAL,

A MODERATE, OR A CONSERVATIVE IN YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFS?

43% of voters describe themselves as conservative, 22.1% liberals and 29.8% as moderates. Conservative

voters dominate Republican voters, liberals dominate

Democrats and Unaffiliated voters are divided between

moderates and conservatives.

Upon probing more about a voter’s self-described ideology,

you find that Unaffiliated voters are most reflective of the overall make up of North Carolina’s voting population.

Most Important Issue Facing NC VotersIN YOUR OPINION, WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING

NORTH CAROLINA TODAY?

Concerns over unemployment/jobs and the economy dominate the issue set for all voters. One out-of-three voters mention this concern when asked the open-ended question about the most important issue facing North Carolina.

Concerns about schools and education are also issues very much on the minds of North Carolina voters and cut across all ideological lines. Health insurance is

a distance third and is seated with voters on the ideological left.

Message Test Third Party Sales NOW I'M GOING TO READ YOU A LIST OF STATEMENTS OFTEN USED BY POLITICAL

LEADERS ABOUT THE NEED FOR A SOUND ENERGY POLICY, BOTH SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH EACH OF

THE STATEMENTS:

Military leaders support the idea of third-party energy sales as a national security need.Third party energy sales would provide greater energy independence and lessen our need for foreign oil. Third party energy sales would create more competition for the utility companies, giving consumers more choices and competitive rates.More competition with third party energy sales will encourage more companies to develop new technologies resulting in more jobs and more energy choices for all. Third party energy sales would create diversity in energy sources, leading to more stable energy costs.

Tax Incentives to Homeowners/Businesses North Carolina currently provides tax incentives to homeowners and businesses who

uti l ize renewable energy options such as solar, wind and other renewable sources. Do you support or oppose these tax incentives?

N= Support Oppose DK/Refused 800 77.6% 17.6% 4.8%

We asked those opposed: Would you support the tax incentives if you knew that nearly two-thirds of the renewable energy projects have been built in rural North Carolina providing those regions of the state

with much needed economic growth?

Candidate Message Test Candidate A supports encouraging the development of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. This candidate believes that by solely relying upon traditional energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas, we are putt ing our economy and nation at risk from global forces beyond our control.

Candidate B says that we have enough energy sources already and that clean energy policies are just another way for l iberals l ike President Obama to create more government programs to hurt our businesses at the expense of trying to save the environment.

Candidate “A” wins a majority of support from all voters. However, Candidate “B” splits with Republican voters which is surprising given the ideological slant to the argument. Voters embrace the argument that relying upon traditional sources only, we are putting our nation at risk. Even with the ideological phrasing that exploits the left, North Carolina voters show strong support for renewable energy sources.
