Americans love to hate California: poll

Reuters reports:
California, home of Hollywood, the Golden Gate Bridge and more people than any other state in the union, is also the most disliked of the 50 states, a new poll shows.

Republicans harbored an intense dislike, according to the Public Policy Polling survey, which showed the liking and disliking of states was a partisan issue that also had a gender divide.

The poll asked Americans in all 50 states about their impression of each state. California finished dead last, with only 27 percent of Americans saying they viewed the Golden State favorably and 42 percent saying they had an unfavorable opinion of the state.

Hawaii was the favorite state, with 54 percent of Americans saying they had a favorable view, and only 10 percent viewing Hawaii negatively.
Just a reminder, when California asks for bailout.
