The overall direction of the state is also a growing concern, with 47 percent of Californians now convinced the state is moving in the wrong direction, up from 37 percent in January. <BR/><BR/>Among likely voters, only 30 percent now trust state government to do the right thing at least most of the time, a number that slips to 24 percent when the federal government is involved. <BR/><BR/>The loss of confidence "is a big change in a couple of months,'' said Mark Baldassare, president and pollster for the policy institute. "It reflects anxiety about the stock market, the slowdown in the housing market, rising gas prices and concerns about possibility of home foreclosures due to subprime loans. <BR/><BR/>'All of a sudden, there are a lot more things for people to worry about.'" <BR/><BR/>Many see bleak future for state, poll shows<BR/><BR/>Confidence ebbs in politicians' ability to handle problems<BR/><BR/>John Wildermuth, Chronicle Political Writer<BR/><BR/>Thursday, March 29, 2007<BR/><BR/>http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/29/BAGOGOTI7N1.DTL<BR/><BR/>Or:<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/36dt3esf jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447317646441624382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22535876.post-76762102733144043182007-03-28T22:23:00.000-07:002007-03-28T22:23:00.000-07:00I liked resolution trust searching for the trends ...I liked resolution trust searching for the trends in Sonoma Real Estate. ;-) I hope they found their answer.
