Poll Shows Low Approval For Some NC Incumbents

The new numbers show Gov. Pat McCrory's approval rating to be among the lowest he's had while in office.  Only 35 percent of voters approve of the job he's doing, according to a survey by Public Policy Polling, and he's even struggling to find support among his fellow Republicans.

McCrory will face re-election next year, and he currently trails Democrat Roy Cooper by about three percent.

The numbers for the General Assembly are even worse than McCrory's, with only 15 percent approval.

U.S. Senator Richard Burr's approval rating was 31 percent. But the good news for him is that he currently leads all of the Democrats who've been discussed as potential challengers.

The poll of more than 900 voters was conducted August 12^th through 16^th and has a margin of error of about 3 percent.
