Unfortunately for Pat McCrory, the election for governor won't be held today.
According to a new poll, McCrory has a 14 point lead over Beverly Perdue in a hypothetical rematch of last year's election. The poll, conducted for the conservative-leaning Civitas Institute asked 600 voters who they would pick in a gubernatorial election between Perdue, a Democrat, and McCrory, a Republican.
McCrory got 46 percent and Perdue 32 percent. Another 22 percent were not sure.
"It’s pretty clear that many voters in North Carolina are now having buyer’s remorse," said Civitas Institute Senior Legislative Analyst Chris Hayes.
The hypothetical re-match may not be too far fetched.
The poll also asked if voters would re-elect Perdue if the election were today.
The poll found that 55 percent said no, 26 percent said yes and 19 percent were not sure.
The poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, was conducted by Tel Opinion Research of Alexandria, Virginia from July 14 to 17.
