Source: Elon University
Support is growing for Democrat Roy Cooper in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Pat McCrory in North Carolinas 2016 gubernatorial election, according to the latest Elon University Poll.
Cooper, the states current attorney general, leads McCrory 48-42 percent among registered voters his largest lead since the Elon University Poll started asking respondents about a hypothetical match-up.
Nearly 43 percent of registered voters said they approved of the job the attorney general is doing, compared to almost 27 percent who disapprove. Thirty percent of respondents said they didn't know or were unsure about the job Cooper is doing.
About 37 percent of registered voters approve of the job McCrory is doing, compared to 49 percent who said they disapprove of the way he is handling his job. Nearly 14 percent said they didn't know or were unsure of their assessment of the governor. This is the lowest approval rating for the governor observed by the Elon Poll since April 2014.

When I say this may be the most important election in our lifetime, I mean it.
Come November, North Carolina will be making a decision on which direction we want to go. We cannot afford to lose.
That's why, today, we're announcing BlueGrass -- our new volunteer dashboard. Using this tool, you'll be able to easily make phone calls, knock on doors, and do other tasks to help our campaign. Can I count on you to sign up and join us?
If you've never volunteered before, it's easy -- once you sign up for BlueGrass, an organizer from our team will be in touch with you and walk you through the process of getting started.
Winning in November is going to take a lot of work, and our grassroots organization could really use a supporter like you.
Governor McCrory and this legislative leadership are chipping away at years of progress in North Carolina. The future of our economy, our children, and our state are at risk.
That's why I need your help. Sign up today to volunteer and help us beat Governor McCrory in November.
Thanks for your continued support,
Roy
