Poll: Voters Believe Public Pensions About Right
October 21, 2009
A recently released public pension poll showed a plurality of California voters believe public employee pension benefits are about right. The poll, conducted by the independent Field Research Corp., surveyed 1,005 registered voters in the state. Only a third of those asked think that pensions for current public employees are too generous. More than half believe that state and local government worker pensions are about right or not generous enough. Additionally, a majority of voters surveyed approve of somewhat more generous pensions for safety workers such as firefighters and police than for other public employees. View the Field Poll.
