North Carolina
Poll: More Democrats than Republicans pulling for UNC
By Dane Huffman Apr 2, 2009
So North Carolina plays in the Final Four this weekend, and you can bet people across the state will be huddled in front of televisions to watch.
But are you pulling for – or against? – the Tar Heels?
The researchers at Public Policy Polling wanted to know. So in a television survey, they found 67 percent of North Carolinians are pulling for UNC, 13 percent are pulling against, and 21 percent don’t care.
Don’t care? Who would admit that?
The poll found that support for UNC is pretty consistent across race and gender lines, but there was a measurable difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Of Democrats surveyed, 75 percent are pulling for Carolina, while only 58 percent of Republicans are cheering for UNC.
Public Policy Polling contacted 725 North Carolinians on March 30-31, and said its report has a margin of error of 3.64 percen.t

The proper name would be BLUE HEAVEN!!! I am a God fearing Christian and if HEAVEN is anything like Chapel Hill i can't wait to get there. Who cares about this poll the amazing thing is how many people responded to it including myself. GO HEELS!!!
I am also proud that we had the greatest coach in the history of the game in Dean Smith. He has forgot more about the game than Coach K will ever know and he coached half of his years where you had to win the ACC Tourney to make the dance. Not like today with all the at large bids.

I guess the Dems were taking a break from working so hard on all of our issues to take such a pointless poll. It is always great to see our tax money being used at such a great level...I wonder what Glenn Beck would say about this.
