We mentioned yesterday that the Charlotte area was the most pessimistic in the state (with right track/wrong track at 34.4%/55.8%), and the Triangle was the most optimistic (57.8%/29.9%). In fact, the Triangle was the only region in North Carolina that has more than 50% of people choosing right track. Why this is, we're not entirely sure.
Other details in the survey reveal that African Americans and Caucasians are fairly consistent, with 42.8% of African-Americans and 45.4% of Caucasians picking right track.
Women, however, are significantly more optimistic than men, with 48.8% choosing right track, versus 40.9% of men.
Optimism on this question declined with age. 18-24 year olds are not the cynics they are sometimes made out to be (at least on this survey)... 61.7% chose right track. 50% of 25-34 year old also chose right track. All other age groups were in the 40 percent areas.
