survey represents a survey of likely voters so one would expect to find a rather high
voting intensity across all demographic breaks.

of North Carolina voters and cut across all ideological lines. Health insurance is
a distance third and is seated with voters on the ideological left.

Would you still support or would you
now oppose this legislation if you
knew utility customers pay less than
one dollar on their utility bill each
month to pay for this requirement?
16. 2007 Renewable Energy Sources
Those opposed to the renewable standard were asked if they would still be opposed if they knew
that there are over 23,000 jobs in NC related to the industry, new technology will likely lead to low
costs and a recent study found new projects were impacting the state’s economy.
Nearly 40% of those opposed to the Renewable Energy Sources said
they would support once they were informed of the 23,000 jobs
impact and the project impact on the state’s economy. Technology
lowering cost was embraced by nearly half of those who said they
were opposed.

When it comes to where you purchase the electricity needed to run your home, do you think North

There has been discussion about allowing third party energy sales in North Carolina. Third-party sales
will allow other companies to compete with the public utility in your area and provide consumers with more
choices for service and pricing.
Do you think lawmakers should pass legislation that would allow for third-party energy sales to
consumers?

NOW I'M GOING TO READ YOU A LIST OF STATEMENTS OFTEN USED BY POLITICAL
LEADERS ABOUT THE NEED FOR A SOUND ENERGY POLICY, BOTH SHORT-TERM
AND LONG-TERM. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH EACH OF
THE STATEMENTS:
Military leaders support the idea of third-party energy sales as a national security need.
Third party energy sales would provide greater energy independence and lessen our need for foreign oil.
Third party energy sales would create more competition for the utility companies, giving consumers more
choices and competitive rates.
More competition with third party energy sales will encourage more companies to develop new technologies
resulting in more jobs and more energy choices for all.
Third party energy sales would create diversity in energy sources, leading to more stable energy costs.
22. Tax Incentives to Homeowners/Businesses
North Carolina currently provides tax incentives to homeowners and businesses who
utilize renewable energy options such as solar, wind and other renewable sources. Do
you support or oppose these tax incentives?

renewable energy projects have been built in rural
North Carolina providing those regions of the state
with much needed economic growth?
23. Candidate Message Test
Candidate A supports encouraging the development of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
This candidate believes that by solely relying upon traditional energy sources such as oil, coal and natural
gas, we are putting our economy and nation at risk from global forces beyond our control.
Candidate B says that we have enough energy sources already and that clean energy policies are just
another way for liberals like President Obama to create more government programs to hurt our businesses
at the expense of trying to save the environment.
Candidate “A” wins a majority of
support from all voters. However,
Candidate “B” splits with Republican
voters which is surprising given the
ideological slant to the argument.
Voters embrace the argument that
relying upon traditional sources only,
we are putting our nation at risk.
Even with the ideological phrasing
that exploits the left, North Carolina
voters show strong support for
renewable energy sources.

This is the new North Carolina. The decided vote is divided among Party lines.
McCrory has the edge with Unaffiliated voters. Success depends on turnout of the
partisan voter and how motivated soft voters are likely to be on Election Day.
