Fifty-five percent of voters don’t believe the battle will lead to any significant reforms in how the Senate does business. Only 36% think it will. Most voters — 78% — have less confidence in state government because of the political ordeal.
The phone survey of 623 registered voters was conducted from last Monday through Thursday. The poll released Monday has a margin of error of about 4%.
