Abstract

This study reports on public opinion surveys on fiscal value, taxation, trust and confidence in governments, and federal political culture conducted in Canada, Mexico, and the United States in June 2004. Compared to past years, support for the federal government remains high in the United States, with support for local government surging substantially in 2004. The local property lax is viewed as the worst U.S. lax, followed secondly but distantly by the federal income tax. Canadians are less supportive of their federal government, and more supportive of their local governments, than Mexicans and Americans. However, Mexicans show low trust and confidence in all their governments, while Americans report fairly high trust and confidence in all their governments. On measures of federal political culture, Canadians scored highest, Mexicans scored lowest, and Americans fell in between. Copyright 2004, Oxford University Press.
