North Carolinians who has witnessed first-hand the destruction of Hurricane Florence (and now Michael) are voicing strong support for restricting development in flood-prone areas, according to a new Elon Poll.

Sixty-two percent support incorporating findings from climate change scientists into local government planning and ordinances and 59 percent support increasing environmental regulation for hog farms.
