More bad numbers for Burr

[ccharles000]

Things are looking a little less bleak for Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr in North Carolina.

But the numbers still don't look good.

Burr's approval rating among North Carolina voters has risen from a dismal 34 percent to 36 percent, according to the latest poll by Public Policy Polling. His disapproval rating is 29 percent, an improvement from 35 percent in PPP's previous poll.

But PPP notes that Burr's numbers are still worse than Elizabeth Dole's were at a comparable point two years ago. Dole had a 46 percent approval rating, but was later defeated by Democrat Kay Hagan.

The latest survey was of 767 North Carolina voters from July 10-12. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

1. knr!~ An approval rating under 40 for an incumbant is nearly

impossible to overcome. Let's get a strong LIBERAL NCer to boot him!

2. Burr is a cretin and deserves to get squashed.

Just imagine NC represented by two Democrats in the Senate. Who would have thunk?

3. He is so incredibly useless as a senator.

It's a shame Roy Cooper isn't running. Hopefully, a worthy Democrat will emerge soon!

Because none are grabbing my attention right now.
