The Public's View Of Texas
The information in the chart above is not quite two years old -- coming from a Public Policy Polling survey in October of 2011. But the state of Texas hasn't changed much in that time, and I doubt that people's views of the state have either. I don't have much to say about it, since none of the attitudes expressed by any of the groups really surprised me. My personal view as a native Texan (who still lives in the state) is that Texas is a strange mix of wonderful and horrible. It has a lot of natural beauty and many kind and generous people -- but it also has a harsh climate and many bigoted, greedy, and self-righteous people. I guess most places are like that, but Texas just seems more so.
