Mark Baldassare, one of California's leading public opinion experts, gives an authoritative and highly informative view of the state during its recent years of prosperity and more recent economic insecurity. Based on findings of the most comprehensive public opinion survey in the state, this book examines the beliefs, concerns, and public policy preferences of Californians during the 1990s, focusing in particular on Californians' deep and ongoing distrust of government and the way this distrust has shaped the recent political climate. "A California State of Mind "combines an incisive analysis of long-term trends--such as population growth and changing demography--with up-to-date discussions of how the recent electricity crisis and the September 11 terrorist attacks have affected residents' distrust of government, making this book a key source for Californians as they consider the future.
"A joint publication with the Public Policy Institute of California"
Industry Reviews
"This is a thought-provoking analysis by one of the most astute analysts of the California scene."-U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein "If you care about the direction America is headed, then you must pay attention to California. To understand California today and decades from now, you must read Baldassare's masterful assessment. He knows the issues and he takes you inside the head of California voters-old, young, Latino, white-he talks to them all-in a way no one else has. And you can forget all your assumptions: Baldassare proves the stereotypes are wrong."-Judy Woodruff, Anchor, CNN's Inside Politics "Baldassare has long been one of the most perceptive analysts of politics and public opinion in California. His new book will solidify that reputation. It is indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the changing political landscape, and the subtle shadings of public attitudes, in the nation's largest state."-Ronald Brownstein, political columnist, Los Angeles Times
