In an Environment of Deep Voter Pessimism, Californians See a Path to Recovery through Technology and Innovation

With voters expressing deep pessimism toward the direction of California, political gridlock in Sacramento, and the ongoing budget crisis, a recent statewide poll found a glimmer of hope and a potential path out of the darkness. In the face of intense negativity toward California’s economic problems and the direction of the state, voters have a tremendous amount of pride in California’s role as a leader in technology and innovation. Californians believe this important sector of the economy presents a potential solution to the state’s economic and fiscal challenges, especially if policymakers prioritize and enable the growth of technology and innovation.
