<p>(The Center Square) – Job approval by likely North Carolina voters for Gov. Josh Stein is robustly high and for President Donald Trump running just a tick better than national polling.</p>
<p>Stein, the first-term Democrat with eight years experience as attorney general prior, has dropped a net 15% in five months to 50.5% approving against 30.1% disapproving. In March, approval was 55.6% to 20.4% disapproving, according to a poll taken Monday and Tuesday and released Thursday by Carolina Journal in conjunction with Harper Polling.</p>
<p>His most significant actions in that time have been 15 vetoes and a two-year budget proposal about $2 billion higher than either chamber of the General Assembly. Eight of his vetoes have been overturned, and Friday marked the 46th day late on the spending plan.</p>
<p>Given choices for what Stein's vetoes reflect, respondents said "a careful approach to policy that checks overreach by the legislative branch" (36%); "a politically motivated obstruction that blocks legislative priorities" (32.9%); and 31% were unsure.</p>
<p>The statewide sampling gave the second-term Republican president an approval of 47.8% and disapproval of 50.3%. In March, he was at 49.5% approval and 48.7% disapproval. Nationally this week, the RealClear Polling average for the time period of July 16 to Thursday is 45.5% approval and 51.5% disapproval.</p>
<p>Trump has won the state in presidential races three consecutive times.</p>
<p>The Carolina Journal/Harper polling of 600 likely voters' responses were given a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of +/= 3.98%.</p>
