Fun items from the PPP NC Poll

Looking over the internals on this. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_NC_81915.pdf

1) NC folks love them some Ben Carson and Carly Fionrina. Looks like they are the only ones on the plus side when it comes to Favorable/Unfavorable. They basically hate everyone. HRC is 34/57 for a -23 and BS is 28/40 for a -12.

2) Best question,
Q17 If the candidates for President next time were
Democrat Hillary Clinton, Republican Jeb
Bush, and Donald Trump running as an
independent who would you vote for?
Hillary Clinton 38%
Jeb Bush 28%
Donald Trump 27%

They are already starting to the play the "Donald runs as an independent" fun.

3) The numbers aren't great for either HRC or BS when it comes to head to head against Republicans, basically NC will be a fight in the general. Which means my poor family is going to see non stop ads for months on end.

which is bad news for him, very bad. Both are tied at 42%. But Jeb beats Sanders. Even without Trump as a Nader (and Trump is not gonna go 3rd party, I think he's goin all the way to Super Tuesday), no one wants more Bush.

3. It never turns out that way, even by appearance due to gerrymandering.

Obama took NC in 2008. Democrats outnumber Republicans and Presidential elections can't gerrymander that.
