Post-Katrina Polling

It's been awhile since I've posted on this blog, but the residents of the Southern states are never far from my mind.

Here's an interesting poll that's being conducted by the University of New Orleans.

Basically, the poll reports:

"A new poll suggests mixed feelings among Americans for providing more federal aid to help New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina, though more than half of respondents believe too little aid has been provided so far.

The University of New Orleans poll being released Monday showed 35.2 percent of respondents "somewhat willing" to support more federal spending for recovery, mindful that involves "expenditure of tax dollars," while 22.3 percent were "neither willing nor unwilling." Another 20.3 percent were "extremely willing;" 22.2 percent were somewhat or extremely unwilling.

Yet, 51.7 percent believed the federal government has provided too little aid. About a third believed the amount has been "just about right."
