Governor Napolitano Receives a Mixed Rating from Arizona Small Businesses

The O'Neil Associations / ASBA Economic Indicators Monitor asked 3,000 small businesses across the state to rate Governor Janet Napolitano as being either "pro" or "anti" business. A plurality (39%) rated her performance as "pro-business." On the other hand, this figure exceeded the proportion who rated her performance in office as "anti-business" (31%) by only 8%. The residual 31% said "neither."

The results are taken from the Q3 O'Neil Associates/ASBA Arizona Economic Indicators Monitor This project provides insights to support business leaders in companies of all sizes to make key economic decisions, as well as sharing small business attitudes on major political issues. O'Neil Associates, a national public opinion research firm based in Tempe, sent surveys to ASBA's membership of 3,000 small businesses across the state as it did at the end of Q1 and Q2 2008. The survey covered a wide range of economic issues, including business performance, revenue and job growth, and overall business confidence ratings. Results provide insights into the perceptions of business owners on the economic health and vitality of the Arizona economy. The survey has a margin of error (at the 95% confidence level) of approximately +/-6%.
