RALEIGH -- Even as the economy continues to get better, North Carolinians still said it's their biggest concern for the state.
In a poll released by Elon University and News 14 Carolina Friday, the economy and jobs top the list of the most important issues for the Tar Heel State, with education landing at a distant second.
?It probably is the most salient issue for people and it is being covered by the news,? said Michael Cobb, polling expert, N.C. State University.
The Elon University/News 14 Carolina poll questioned 605 people at random on what they believe the most important issue is facing North Carolina.
Not all of them are registered voters.
Almost 53 percent said the economy, including jobs and unemployment issues, topped their list. That was followed by education, energy, taxes, healthcare, family values and crime and drugs.
This list comes as no surprise to political observers.
?People are worried about their jobs, they are worried about their pay, they are worried about health care, their benefits, so it really isn't a surprise that the economy is the issue,? said John Robinson, communications director of the Elon University Poll.
So what does this mean in a year where all eyes are on the November election? For starters, incumbents will have to fight off any negative light on these issues.
?The economy is not going well, both national and state, and people tend to blame those who are in power,? said Cobb.
In another poll question, respondents were asked on a scale of one to five how important some of these issues were when they decide which candidate to vote for.
Again the economy ranks high as a very important issue for North Carolinians. Education and health care also had very important rankings by over sixty percent of those polled.
In fact, all of the issues listed as important ranked has highly important for more than 35 percent of the people polled.
Observers said these number indicate what candidates need to focus on for the next eight months.
That's the conventional wisdom is that the economy is going to decide the election,? said Don Taylor, with Duke University, ?And I think that is the conventional wisdom because that is what most people are focused on.?
The Elon University Poll is a neutral, independent operation fully funded by Elon University as a public service to the region. It is conducted six times each year to facilitate informed public policy making through the better understanding of citizens' opinions and attitudes.
