Poll: State on Wrong Track, Things Going Well Personally

State residents had a mixed outlook heading into the primary, according to a new poll for We The People.

Forty-five percent of state residents surveyed believed the state was on the wrong track. But 49 percent said things were going well for them personally and another 13 percent said things were excellent.

The poll of 400 residents was conducted by Wood Communications Group Aug. 24-29. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points.

The poll also found:
-32 percent think things will get better over next year, 44 percent believe they will stay the same and 21 percent say things will get worse
-51 percent say they have somewhat less money at the end of each month when considering the impact of price changes on their personal finances, and 57 percent say price changes have had a negative impact on their lives. The poll was taken just before the recent drop in gas prices began.
