Abstract:
|
Previous scholarship debates the source of one’s trust for different levels of government. Conventional wisdom says that conservatives are more likely to favor devolution, while liberals favor bigger government. However, this contention does not capture the effect of a person who identifies as a Republican living in a state controlled by Democrats. Does this political environment affect the level of government one trusts most? In investigating this relationship, we find that strong partisan identification and context of state political environments results in a more nuanced relationship in the level of trust for state government versus the federal government. Strong Republican identifiers who live in Democrat controlled states do have a higher likelihood of trusting the state government more than their weaker identifying counterparts. |
