Poll: Californians Gloomy On Economic Rebound
SACRAMENTO (AP) — A new Field Poll finds most Californians remain pessimistic about the state's economic recovery, as well as their own.
The poll, which was released Tuesday, found 93 percent of registered voters agree that California is experiencing poor economic times. Only a quarter expect the state's economy to improve over the next year.
The pollsters say the negative mood is the longest and deepest since they began keeping track in 1978.
A majority think their own finances are worse than a year ago.
Just 30 percent expect their financial situation to improve over the next 12 months.
The telephone survey of 857 registered voters was conducted between Sept. 14 and Sept. 21. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
