New CJ Poll: Cooper–Whatley Race, Tax Reform, School Choice in Focus

New results from the May Carolina Journal Poll provide a broad snapshot of North Carolina politics, including voter views on the direction of the state and country, along with job approval ratings for President Donald Trump and Governor Josh Stein. The poll also measures the generic ballot for the General Assembly and offers an updated look at the high-profile U.S. Senate race between Roy Cooper and Michael Whatley. Other findings focus on voter opinions regarding property tax reform, Certificate-of-Need laws, Opportunity Scholarships, and North Carolina liquor laws. Meanwhile, the Senate health committee has advanced a targeted repeal of portions of the state’s CON law.
