Monday Poll results: Gov. Sam Brownback’s actions get bashed, and hard

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and his policies did not get a lot of love in the latest Monday Poll.

Indeed, of the 2,500 or so responses, most expressed pretty strong disagreement with how Brownback is handling problems in the cash-starved state.

1. Brownback’s budget reductions are part of a needed effort to, as he noted, slow the growth of government spending in Kansas.

Strongly agree 3%

Agree 2%

Disagree 8%

Strongly disagree 87%

2. The Legislature should again try to repeal part or all of the income tax cuts, largely because that would finance better services for 3 million Kansans.

Strongly agree 89%

Agree 4%

Disagree 1%

Strongly disagree 6%

3. Voters this fall should keep a clear majority of conservative Republican lawmakers in Topeka so they can support Brownback’s fiscal agenda in the 2017 legislative session.

Strongly agree 4%

Agree 1%

Disagree 2%

4. The fact that the state has lost jobs over the last 12 months shows Brownback was wrong when he said the income tax break for businesses would attract more people to work in Kansas.
