North Carolina Survey of 500 Likely Voters

1* In thinking about the 2012 presidential election, suppose you had a choice between Republican Mitt Romney and Democrat Barack Obama. If the election were held today, would you vote for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama? 

2* Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of Mitt Romney?

3* Generally speaking, how would you rate the U.S. economy these days? Excellent, good, fair, or poor?

5* How closely have you followed recent news reports about President Obama's health care law and the U.S. Supreme Court?

6* Would you like to see the U.S. Supreme Court overturn the health care law or uphold its legality?

7* Which do you think the U.S. Supreme Court is more likely to do – overturn the health care law or uphold its legality?

8* The health care law requires every American to buy or obtain health insurance. Do you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a federal law that requires every American to buy or obtain health insurance?

9* Does the federal government have the constitutional authority to force everyone to buy health insurance?

10* Should all voters be required to prove their identity before being allowed to vote?
