Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: What happens when a major and well publicized scandal occurs? Do citizens change their tune and start to view their state government politicians as negatively as they view federal politicians? This proposed paper explores these questions using individual-level public opinion data collected in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Missouri during the summer of 2006. My theory is that the well-publicized Coingate scandal as well as some other controversies involving elected state officials will cause Ohio citizens to view their elected officials and state governments more negatively. I test this theory by comparing the attitudes of Ohio citizens in the summer of 2006 to citizens in Missouri and Pennsylvania. I find that Ohioans do indeed have significantly lower levels of trust and approval in their state government and officials than Pennsylvanians and Missourians.
