Last week we released a poll showing Gov. Bev Perdue's approval rating dropping. Yesterday, PPP released their poll showing her approval rating down in the low 30s.
One need look no further than this from Under the Dome to explain the reason her numbers are tanking:
Gov. Beverly Perdue told legislative leaders Tuesday that she wants the state budget that begins July 1 to include $1.5 billion in new taxes.
Our polling has consistently shown new taxes to be very unpopular and the more the Governor ties herself to unpopular tax hikes, the lower her approval ratings will fall. We're in the field now with our June poll so we'll have some fresh numbers on this for you next week.
