olina poll finnds that teaccher pay raises are a top
prioriity for voterss in the statee- and that th
hey want to ssee teachers get more thaan
Repu
ublicans in Raleigh
R
are prroposing.
By a 54/36 spread
d, including 50/39 with independentts, North Carrolinians thiink raising
her pay shoulld be a higheer priority fo
or the Generaal Assemblyy than cuttingg taxes. 50%
%
teach
of vo
oters in the sttate support at least a 5%
% increase, 559% support at least a 4%
% increase,
and 76%
7
support at least a 3%
% increase. Only
O
24% off voters thinkk that a 2% tteacher pay
increase or less iss adequate.
Theree's also stron
ng support fo
or increasing
g the startingg teacher salaary in the staate. 56% of
voterrs think teach
hers should start
s
at at leaast $40,000 a year and 822% think theey should
start at
a at least $3
35,000 a yeaar.
Given
n these findiings it's not surprising
s
th
hat Pat McCrrory's teacheer pay annouuncement lasst
week
k hasn't donee anything to
o shore up his standing w
with voters inn the state. O
Only 40% off
voterrs approve off the job he'ss doing, com
mpared to 48%
% who disappprove. A hyypothetical
match
h up for reellection with Roy Cooperr would be a toss up at thhis point, with McCrory
ahead
d by a singlee point at 43//42.
The General
G
Asseembly begin
ns the short session
s
with a 16% approoval rating aand 56% of
voterrs disapproviing of it, refllecting residu
ual anger froom last summ
mer. It doesnn't have
much
h room to falll over the neext few mon
nths. The genneric legislattive ballot inn the state is
tied at
a 43%. If thaat holds to November
N
Democrats wiill probably bbe able to piick up a few
w
seats but nothing close to a majority.

“Nortth Carolinian
ns want the legislature to
o give teachers a substanntial pay inccrease this
