1/ In these hyperpartisan times few policy issues enjoy broad political support.
An @AFPNC commissioned poll of regulatory reform issues found two proposals, The Reins Act and requiring agency rules to be re-reviewed every decade, with 75% voter support from each #ncpol party.
Over the weekend, we surveyed the #NCPOL#NC13 GOP Primary runoff. The major takeaways:
1. Only 51% of likely voters know Kelly Daughtry suspended her campaign.
2. Brad Knott has a commanding 57% lead and 84% know he's Trump endorsed.

"Democrats were undoubtedly expecting a bad outcome... But the release today of proposed map CBP-5, even by NC’s brass knuckled redistricting standards, is a particularly savage assault on Democratic electoral prospects for the remainder of this decade." #ncga#ncpol
A couple of snapshots:
"This map creates 10 likely Republican seats, three likely Democratic seats and one competitive seat that might very slightly favor the Democrats in 2024 but is in an area of the state that is shifting quickly toward the GOP." #ncpol#ncga
And finally, we tested a potential #vagov#vapol primary between Lt. Gov Sears and AG Jason Miyares. Voters view both favorably, but Sears leads by a wide margin. Read more on the survey, including toplines and tabs, here: https://t.co/eFxOHUFqhf
We ventured north into the commonwealth and conducted a statewide survey of likely GOP primary voters on the presidential race (n=500. MoE: +/- 4.5%. Mode: 1/3 live cell, 1/3 live landline, 1/3 text-to-web) A 🧵 on what we found #vapol#vagov:
Importantly, DeSantis support grows with every demographic in a head-to-head race with Trump. Trump has a firm base of support but is unlikely to grow his vote share as the field narrows. DeSantis, on the other hand, stands to benefit greatly as the field shrinks #vapol#vagov

Just for the fun of it, we tested a hypothetical matchup for Attorney General: Forsyth County DA Jim O'Neill, who sought the AG's office in 2020 and 2016, trailed Congressman Dan Bishop 20%-13%. #ncpol
