Californians are upbeat about their state but theyre worried about the other 49.
A new poll from UC Berkeleys Institute of Governmental Studies found that 54 percent of registered voters think California is going in the right direction, while just 36 percent say the same about the U.S. as a whole.

To progressives that’s moving in the right direction.
Californians feeling good about state, but worried about country
Great. CA is doing so well that they will be able to take over all their obligations when the federal government suspends its payments to this “sanctuary state.”
In case there is a need for more funds in the future, Mexicans in CA can start paying for their kids to attend CA public schools, and Mexican families can be deleted from welfare and Obamacare rolls.
Liberal Californians feel good about their state.
Funny...my thoughts are exactly the opposite.
The La school District spends $1 BILLION annually on illegal aliens.
That is a crime and folks should pay for their crimes.
The hipsters and their spawn are still seeing the world through rose colored glasses. " Far out man."
I’m feeling good about the country, but worried about Kalifornia.
Meh. The “rich” can pay for all that if they would just pay their fair share of taxes in California.
The de facto one party state is utterly delusional. Millions of illegals and essentially half of the population on government “assistance” sprinkled between Silicon Valley and a gaggle of overly medicated Hollywood types. Talk about a mess!
Chump Change for a State like California.
We currently SPEND $69,315,068 DOLLARS Every Single Day just to keep the 3 million Illegal Aliens in this State.
President Trump should tell California to GO POUND SAND when they call asking for money.
Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a result of an illegal alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents. The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population is $25.3 billion.

One earthquake away from oblivion ...
Why?? Aren’t they gonna Caliexit?! So why worry!! Give them half a year and they’ll be begging us to take them back! Calimejico cannot survive on its own it needs federal funding for all the illegals!
That is fun because with he exception of a couple of big cities the other 49 are feeling pretty good and worried about you!
#FAKE NEWS
Um... if someone walked into any given echo chamber and asked the right questions they could get whatever poll to say whatever they wanted it to.
Eighty percent of the general public don’t want sanctuary cities but in the echo chamber of leftist nests like this one that number would drop to 2 or less.
Stupid Conservative propaganda! Soulless killers of the old, the sick and the helpless!
All lies!
Obama made sure that all the streets, roads and highways nationwide were fixed back in Obama's great and successful "stimulus" phase. The famous "Shovel ready" list.
I'm almost certain that all the "shovel ready"* jobs gave the usual 10% of the total to California.
Of course all of California's roads and highways have already been fixed.
I could spend all day perusing the web site below...
