Pat who?

[ccharles000]

A year after Pat McCrory ran a statewide campaign as the Republican candidate for governor, 45 percent of voters say they don't have an opinion of him, according to a new poll.

Public Policy Polling asked 593 likely North Carolina voters for their opinion of McCrory, who recently ended his run as Charlotte's mayor. The poll found that 32 percent had a favorable opinion of McCrory and 23 percent viewed him unfavorably. The "no opinion" response, 45 percent, suggests that McCrory fell fast from the public consciousness.

The good news, PPP's Tom Jensen notes, is that McCrory's 32 percent favorability rating is five points higher than the 27 percent favorability rating Gov. Bev Perdue recently got in a PPP survey.

McCrory has more than hinted that he's thinking about a rematch against Perdue in 2012.

The poll had a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

2. I cannot stand the thought of him as our governor.

He screwed Charlotte up. We don't need to see the entire state in the shape he left Charlotte in. No way.
