Catawba College has partnered with YouGov in surveying North Carolinians about their attitudes and opinions regarding the 2024 general election. Today we released the first of three findings concerned North Carolinians' confidences and concerns as we enter the home stretch of the 2024 campaign.
This survey was done for the Commission on the Future of North Carolina Elections, a cross-partisan group of over 60 North Carolinians who have come together in this public 'good government' organization dedicated to upholding the integrity of election administration in North Carolina. Its primary goal is to enhance confidence and trust in NC elections by educating the public about best practices and conducting research on electoral processes.
The survey of the state's general population is 1,000 North Carolinians who were reached by an online panel by YouGov from August 7 to 20, 2024. The margin of error for the general population is +/- 3.87 percent, with subgroups having a higher margin of error. It is also important to note that all survey research contains unmeasured error and results should be seen as informative, not definitive.
The various documents related to the survey's release can be found within this shared folder:
