6 Monday, November 6, 2000 CAROLINA POLL From Page 1 dential race, Bush leads Democratic candidate A1 Gore 53 to 40 percent, with 2 percent voting for one of two third-party candidates - Libertarian candidate Harry Browne and Reform candidate Pat Buchanan -and 5 per cent still undecided. Respondents also favored Easley over Republican gubernatorial candidate Richard Vinroot 46 to 40 percent, with 3 percent voting for one of the two third party candidates - Libertarian Barbara Howe and Reform Party Douglas Schell -and 11 percent still undecided. A press release stated that the poll has a 4 percent margin of error that can partially be attributed to potential poll respondents’ use of answering machines and caller IDs to screen calls. UNC journalism Professor Ferrel Guillory also said that despite Easley’s lead over Vinroot, the poll results indicate that the state remains a Republican-tilting state in presidential elections. But Guillory added that it is in the Gore’s campaign best interest to make a strong push in the state to help candidates. Robert Stevenson, director of the Carolina Poll, stated in a press release that Democrats Gore and Easley appeal to young voters, voters over 65, women, minorities and less-educated voters.

Guillory said the state has leaned increasingly toward the Republican side during the past decade because of the influx of professionals to certain areas of the state, including the Triangle. But he said the fact that the state’s vot ers seem to be favoring a Republican presidential candidate and a Democratic gubernatorial candidate can be attributed to voters’ differentiating between presi dential politics and local politics. “National politics tend to be some- From Page One DTH/MARY STOWELL AND SALEEM RESHAMWALA what more ideological,” Guillory said. “In the governor’s office, North Carolinians tend to be more pragmatic. They want their governors to be work ing on day-to-day issues.” Another poll conducted by UNC journalism Professor Phil Meyer via mail survey showed Bush leading Gore 59 to 41 percent and Easley leading Vinroot 51 to 49 percent Meyer polled 1,433 registered voters statewide. Stevenson said the projected split ticket voting indicates that the influence of individual candidates is growing as party loyalty is declining. But he added that voters have an understanding that whomever they elect will impact their lives. “They’re very dif ferent with very different personalities.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
