This is the ninth Metropolitan State Civic Confidence survey since its inception in 1996. The purpose of the survey is to measure attitudes of residents in the seven-county, Twin Cities area toward government services. More than half of Minnesota’s population lives in the region.
The survey focuses on citizens’ views of government services and employees, ethics of elected officials, major issues facing government, the regional economy and community connections. It gives more attention than most public opinion polls to residents’ views of their local government.
