The Most Trusted State Governments Are Red

The Most Trusted State Governments Are Red - The American Interest:
Bad news for the blue model at the state level: According to a recentGallup poll, red states are home to some of the most trusted state governments in the country, and blue states are home to some of the least. 
The four states whose governments have the highest “confidence” ratings—North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Montana—are all red, while the four states whose governments have the lowest ratings—Illinois, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey—are all deep blue. 
(Note: The terms red and blue refer to governing models, not partisan affiliation of the current state leadership; blue New Jersey has a Republican governor, and red Montana has a Democratic governor).
Three of the four blue states most facing a confidence crisis are suffering from acute blue model decay in the form of runaway public pension costs..."
