1 Elon University Poll of North Carolina residents April 5-9, 2013 Executive Summary and Demographic Crosstabs McCrory Obama Hagan Burr General Assembly Congress Job approval in North Carolina N=770 / +/-3.53% 12% 46% 45% 40% 39% 37% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Approval Rating for President Barack Obama Residents in North Carolina are divided about President Barack Obama s job performance. Forty-five percent of those surveyed said they approve and 46 percent disapprove of his performance. This is a slight change from an Elon University Poll in February 2013 that found 48 percent of residents approved and 45 percent disapproved of Obama s performance. Obama still has wide approval from Democrats and African Americans. In addition, women, younger respondents (18-30), and less affluent respondents (those with a household income of less than $50,000 a year) are more likely to approve of his performance. Approval Rating for Governor Pat McCrory Republican Gov. Pat McCrory saw an increase in his approval rating. In this most recent poll, 46 percent said they approve of his job performance, compared to 42 percent in the February poll. The increase in approval seems to be a product of fewer respondents saying they didn t know or were not sure if they approve or disapprove of the governor s job performance (32 percent in February said don t know compared to 27 percent in April). The proportion of those surveyed who stated they disapproved of McCrory s performance remained stable. In February, 26 percent said they disapproved of his job performance, in the most recent poll 25 percent disapproved. The Approval rating of the governor even increased among Democrats. In February, 26 percent of Democrats said they approved of the job McCrory was doing. In the most recent survey, 31 percent of Democrats approved of his performance. McCrory made similar gains among Republicans and Independents. McCrory s approval ratings are high among most subgroups, including blacks, whites, young, old, male and female. Respondents that considered themselves liberal or extremely liberal and respondents who identified as non-religious were far less impressed with the governor s performance. Page 1 April 12, 2013

2 Approval Rating for the Congress The approval rating for Congress remained low with only 12 percent of respondents approving of the job Congress is doing (In the February Elon Poll Congress had a 11 percent approval rating). Approval of Congress is low across all partisan attachments, but lowest among Republicans (10 percent), followed by Independents (12 percent) and then Democrats (14 percent). In fact, congressional approval ratings are low for most subgroups: male or female; Black or White; affluent or less affluent; liberal or conservative. All of these subgroups were critical of Congress s job performance. Approval Rating for the General Assembly The General Assembly in Raleigh fared better than Congress and even saw some gains in approval rating since February, but approval was still low. Thirty-seven percent of those surveyed said they approve of the state legislature s job performance, up 4 points from the previous Elon University Poll, while almost 39 percent said they disapprove. Unlike approval ratings for Congress, there are noticeable partisan differences in approval of the General Assembly. Only 30 percent of Democrats approve of the state legislature compared to 38 percent of Independents and 46 percent of Republicans. Approval of the General Assembly tended to be lower among women and African Americans. Approval Rating for Senators Hagan and Burr The two United States Senators representing North Carolina had very similar approval ratings. Forty percent of residents said they approve of the job Kay Hagan was doing, while 39 percent said they approve of Richard Burr. Senator Hagan had slightly more respondents who stated they disapprove of her performance (33 percent) than Senator Burr did (26 percent). Not surprising, approval ratings are associated with which party a respondent identifies with. Democrats were more likely to approve of Senator Hagan s performance (59 percent) than they were of Senator Burr s performance (28 percent) and Republicans were more likely to approve of Senator Burr (54 percent) than Senator Hagan (24 percent). Senator Hagan is up for reelection in 2014 and approval ratings are just one indicator (along with the President s approval rating) used in identifying vulnerable incumbents. A low approval rating for a Democratic Senator, combined with declining approval ratings of a Democratic president, can increase the likelihood the incumbent will face a high quality and experienced challenger in the general election.

25 Methodology The Elon University Poll uses a stratified random sample of households with telephones and wireless (cell) telephone numbers. Our target margin of error is at a maximum +/- 3 % based on a 95 % confidence interval. Please direct questions about the Elon University Poll s methodology to the Director of the Elon University Poll, Dr. Kenneth Fernandez at or kfernandez@elon.edu. Procedures Used for Conducting the Poll The Elon University Poll typically conducts surveys over a five-day period. Live interviewers call from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. during the week and from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the weekend. Each survey report specifies dates and times called. The Elon University Poll uses CATI system software (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) for the administration of surveys. We attempt to reach each working telephone number in the sample up to five times. We only interview residents of North Carolina who are over 18. Additional Methodological Decisions Branching Questions For many questions with multiple response options, we program our surveys to branch into a secondary probing question. Don t Know & Refused Response Options All questions include an option for respondents to volunteer don t know or to refuse. In the vast majority of questions, interviewers do not prompt don t know responses. Weighting We typically weight results from the Elon University Poll on multiple demographic characteristics: race, gender, household size, region, education, and age. Weighting rarely leads to substantial changes in results. We use demographic characteristics of registered voters when possible. We use iterative raking, adjusting one dimension at a time. We include detailed information about weighting of survey samples for each poll on both the Elon University Poll website and within released reports. Within Household Randomization For landlines, we use the common oldest-youngest technique to ensure within household randomization. We assume cellphones belong to an individual rather than a household. Thus, we do not conduct within-household randomization within our cellphone sample. Completion Criteria An interview is a complete only if a respondent progresses through the entire survey. Respondents who hang up before completing the last question or who refuse to more than 20 % of the questions are incompletes. Support for Transparency The Elon University Poll supports transparency in survey research and is a supporter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research Transparency Initiative, which is a program promoting openness and transparency about survey research methods and operations among survey research professionals and the industry. All information about the Elon University Poll that we released to the public conforms to reporting conventions recommended by the American Association for Public Opinion Research and the National Council on Public Polls.

26 Question Construction and Question Order In releasing survey results, the Elon University Poll provides the questions as worded and the order in which respondents receive these questions. In some cases question ordering rotates to avoid biases. In an effort to provide neutral, non-biased questions, we attempt to observe conventional question wording and question order protocols in all of our polls. In order to avoid recency or primacy effects, we randomize candidate names and directional response options (e.g. support / oppose) within the text of each question. We pretest every questionnaire multiple times before entering the field. Sampling Survey Sampling International, LLC, provide samples of telephone numbers. To equalize the probability of telephone selection, sample telephone numbers are systematically stratified according to subpopulation strata (e.g., a zip code, a county, etc.), which yields a sample from telephone exchanges in proportion to each exchange's share of telephone households in the population of interest. Estimates of telephone households in the population of interest are generally obtained from several databases. Samples of household telephone numbers are distributed across all eligible blocks of numbers in proportion to the density of listed households assigned in the population of interest according to a specified subpopulation stratum. Upon determining the projected (or preferred) sample size, a sampling interval is calculated by summing the number of listed residential numbers in each eligible block within the population of interest and dividing that sum by the number of sampling points assigned to the population. From a random start between zero and the sampling interval, blocks are selected systematically in proportion to the density of listed household "working blocks." A block (also known as a bank) is a set of contiguous numbers identified by the first two digits of the last four digits of a telephone number. A working block contains three or more working telephone numbers. Exchanges are assigned to a population on the basis of all eligible blocks in proportion to the density of working telephone households. Once each population's proportion of telephone households is determined, then a sampling interval, based on that proportion, is calculated and specific exchanges and numbers are randomly selected. The wireless component of the study sample starts with determining which area codeexchange combinations in North Carolina are included in the wireless or shared Telcordia types. Similar to the process for selecting household telephone numbers, wireless numbers involve a multi-step process in which blocks of numbers are determined for each area codeexchange combination in the Telcordia types. From a random start within the first sampling interval, a systematic nth selection of each block of numbers is performed and a two-digit random number between 00 and 99 is appended to each selected nth block stem. The intent is to provide a stratification that will yield a sample that is representative both geographically and by large and small carrier. From these, a random sample is generated. Because exchanges and numbers are randomly selected, unlisted as well as listed numbers are included in the sample. Thus, the sample of numbers generated for the population of Page 26 April 12, 2013

27 interest constitutes a random sample of telephone households and wireless numbers of the population. Frequently Asked Questions about our Methodology 1. Who pays for the Elon University Poll? Elon University fully funds the Elon University Poll. 2. Does the Elon University Poll favor a certain party? The Elon University Poll is an academic, non-partisan survey. We do not engage or work with any political candidates or parties. We employ best practices to ensure the results are not biased. 3. Where do you get your numbers? We obtain samples of randomized phone numbers from Survey Sample International. 4. How many times do you call a number before giving up? We attempt to call each working number five times before removing it from the sample. 5. Do you call both cell phones and land lines? Yes. We use a mixed sample of both cell phones and landlines. We weight on phone ownership to adjust for the higher probability of selection of those who own both cell phones and landline phones. 6. Does the Elon University Poll do IVR surveys or automated robopolls? No. Well-trained students at Elon University conduct all our interviewers. 7. Do you report non-response rates? Yes. We report non-response rates based on AAPOR guidelines. The response rate for the April 9, 2013 Poll was 8%, which approximates the national average response rates of high quality survey organizations. 8. Do you weight the data? Yes. We apply weights to the data. An iterative proportional fitting algorithm generates weights based on Census parameters of residents in North Carolina. 9. Do you randomize response options? Yes. We rotate the order of candidate names in all applicable questions. We also rotate order of text for other questions, such as those that include response options such as more and less. Furthermore, we rotate the order of some questions themselves if we suspect the order of a question could bias results. 10. Do you conduct within-household randomization? Yes. For landlines, we use the common oldest-youngest rotation to ensure within household randomization. We assume cellphones belong to an individual rather than a household. Thus, we do not conduct within-household randomization within our cellphone sample. Page 27 April 12, 2013
