Readers aren't happy about the budget
Granted, my online poll asking readers what they thought of the state budget is not scientific. And the poll didn't attract a ton of votes -- 79. But for a week-old blog, I'll take it.
The poll question was: What do you think of the state budget adopted last week?
The results were clear. Respondents don't like it. Not one little bit.
4 percent said they were OK with the budget.
95 percent said that they not only disapprove, but would consider voting against incumbents who supported the budget.
2 percent said they disapproved of the budget, but not enough to vote against an incumbent who supported it.
If the poll results are indicative of public opinion -- and I suspect a lot of voters are unhappy about the budget and the legislators who approved it -- some incumbents could be in for a rougher ride than usual this fall.
