North Carolina Voters Split on Blame for Economic Woes and Government Shutdown

A recent poll in North Carolina reveals a stark divide among voters regarding blame for the ongoing economic issues and government shutdown. The survey, conducted from October 16 to 24 with a 3.79% margin of error, sampled 1,000 people and uncovered significant concerns among residents about various economic aspects.

Over 70% of North Carolinians expressed worry about the state's economy, personal finances, and energy prices. Similarly, over 80% are anxious about the nation's economy and housing prices. Additionally, more than 80% have high concerns for food and consumer goods.

Partisan lines are evident in assigning blame. Over two-thirds of North Carolina Democrats point fingers at Washington Republicans, while only 18% blame second-term Republican President Donald Trump. Conversely, 56% of Republicans blame the Democratic Party. Independents tend to blame both major parties, with 35% blaming Republicans, 26% Democrats, and 34% both. Specific institutions also draw blame: 23% fault Republicans in Congress, and 29% blame Democrats in Congress for the shutdown. However, 18% of respondents do not attribute blame to any specific group or individual.

The poll underscores the deep-seated economic concerns among North Carolinians, with most blaming political parties and institutions for the shutdown and economic struggles. The findings highlight the need for bipartisan cooperation to address these issues and restore confidence in the economy.
