The Ukraine affair and the threat of impeachment is eroding Republican support for the president in North Carolina.
"The most significant factor affecting President Trump's decline in job approval ratings among North Carolinians is his loss of Republican support," said David McLennan, Meredith Poll Director, in the new report.
Since 1980, North Carolina has backed the Republican candidate at every single presidential election bar 2008, when it voted for Democrat Barack Obama over Republican John McCain, the late Arizona senator. McLennan said if Trump's approval ratings remain around 40 percent then North Carolina will look attractive to the Democrats, though it depends on who the party nominates.
"I think the real story is that a name picked at random from the phone book is polling at least five points higher than every Democrat presidential candidate," Jeff Hauser, spokesman for the North Carolina GOP, told"It speaks to how far left the Democrats have moved in regards to extremist policies that will negatively impact the country's future.
