Rick Perry et le Texas: le gouverneur est-il responsable de la bonne santé de l'économie?


Non selon un sondage réalisé au Texas!

"A key part of Gov. Rick Perry's pitch to Republican presidential primary voters is the performance of the state's economy — especially in job creation — during his tenure as governor. But Texas voters, for the most part, are more likely to see him as a bystander to the state's success than its driver, according to the new University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll.

Asked about the factors behind the state economy's relative strength, 65 percent of those responding attributed it to long-standing advantages such as the state's wealth of natural resources, its balanced budget, the absence of a state personal income tax and a lenient regulatory environment. Another 21 percent cited Perry's leadership in promoting lower taxes, lenient regulation and small government as the main reason the Texas economy has fared better than the national economy.

"They're not crediting him, but I find that unsurprising," said Daron Shaw, co-director of the poll and a government professor at UT. "Voters are rational gods of vengeance, but it's not clear to me how much they're rational gods of reward. They'll kill you if things go wrong — they may give you some credit if things go right.""
