Van Ryzin, Gregg G. su: Public opinion Public welfare New York (State) sug: subj: New York (State) Public opinion Public welfare keyword: Public opinion -- New York (State) ab: This article presents results of a reanalysis of data from a survey of New York residents regarding that state's welfare system and proposed welfare reforms. The data differ from most previous studies of public opinion about welfare because questions were asked about a range of specific welfare reform options, such as various time limits, eligibility restrictions, and work requirements, that are key features of the new federal welfare law. Specifically, the analysis explores the extent to which public support for these reforms can be explained by self-interest factors, political affiliation, and beliefs regarding the poor, social rights, and the welfare system. While these variables have been found to be important in prior research, they provide a somewhat less consistent explanation of support for specific features of the new welfare system in the United States.
