… and another thing

No confidence in Albany

July

One of the questions from the Siena College poll released today was this:

“After seeing the fight for control over the State Senate over the last month, are you more confident, less confident, or do you have about the same level of confidence in state government to solve the problems facing New York State?”

Here’s the response. Ouch.

More confident: 3 percent

Less confident: 71 percent

And while Democrats have more confidence in state government than Republicans, it’s not by much: 5 percent compared to 1 percent.

My question: How could the chaos of that month-long standoff make you more confident of anything?

More here from my colleague Cara Matthews in Albany.
