America is on the wrong track, say 3 in 4 North Carolina voters surveyed by the High Point University poll. It’s also 3 in 4 that said they have confidence in the election results that would be posted.
In response to a question measuring voter confidence in the direction of the country — “Do you think things in this country are generally going in the right direction or do you feel things have gotten pretty seriously off on the wrong track?” — 73 percent of respondents chose “wrong track” and 21 percent chose “right direction.” There were 7 percent of those polled who were unsure in the results released Monday morning.
The sampling of 1,042 adults — 813 said they are registered to vote — was done in online interviews Jan. 16-26. The credibility interval is +/- 3.3 percent.
A question about voter confidence in what the results of the upcoming election would show — “How much confidence do you have that the 2024 election results will accurately reflect the votes that are cast?” — registered voters tallied 35 percent for “a lot of confidence” and 38 percent for “some confidence” against 23 percent for no confidence and 4 percent who were unsure.
