N.C. Poll: 2/3 Support Death Penalty Moratorium
Is the tide changing? A new poll shows that 2/3 of North Carolinians favor a moratorium on the death penalty.
Nearly two-thirds of adults surveyed in a recent poll said that North Carolina should put a two-year moratorium on executions to study its fairness. The survey, commissioned by the North Carolina Council of Churches, also found majority support in nearly every demographic group examined, including men (64 percent to 30 percent), Republicans (55 percent to 39 percent) and those who said they favored the death penalty (59 percent to 35 percent).
