Abstract

In a study reporting on regional differences in public opinion among Arkansans in 1982, Savage and Blair (1984: 65) assert "that more altruistic, less remote, and more decentralized institutions receive stronger votes of confidence." Data from a 1984 survey of Arkansans do not contradict that assertion but do allow an assessment of trends in public confidence among citizens of the state during the early 1980’s as well as affording comparisons with confidence trends in the nation as a whole and in a sister state located in the industrial northeast.
