German Chancellor Angela Merkel, left, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California, are seen during their opening walk at the CeBIT in Hanover, northern Germany, on Tuesday, March 3, 2009. The world’s biggest IT fair will run until Sunday, March 9, 2009. California is a partner state of this year’s CeBIT

Most voters are dissatisfied with the state budget recently passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor. Among all registered voters 55% are dissatisfied, while 39% are satisfied. Disapproval is greater among those considered most likely to vote in the May 19 special election. Among these voters dissatisfaction with the budget is two to one (65% to 32%).

Dissatisfaction is greatest among Republicans (64%), although about half of registered Democrats (50%) and non-partisans (51%) are also dissatisfied.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s approval rating holds at a strikingly hot 38 per cent in the same poll.

Also, 18 per cent of Californians think the state is headed in the right direction.

Arnold has driven California into an abyss while he jets off to Germany to hob nob with Chancellor Merkel.

Look for a growing taxpayer revolt in California, the likes of which the state has not seen in 30 years.
