Who's in Charge?

Apparently, the voters have no clue.  This month, we asked voters which party, the Democratic or Republican controlled the NC House, NC Senate and the Governor's mansion.

Sadly:
- Less than half the voters know who is in charge of the General Assembly.
- Only 49% correctly identified the Democrats in charge of the House.
- 40% correctly identified the Democrats in charge of the Senate.

Strangely, though, a whopping 61% could correctly identify that the Governor was a Democrat.  Francis seems to think it has to do with his public endorsements of Hillary and then Obama, so people relate him to a Democratic presidential candidate.  I was hoping that maybe all the recent bad publicity had made people pay attention.  Unfortunately, I think Francis' theory is probably right.
