71% of Republicans Considering Leaving California

40% of Republicans say that they're giving serious consideration to leaving California.

Only 26%, a quarter, say they aren't considering it.

If 71% of any other group were thinking about leaving a state, that would be news.

Among those who call themselves very conservative, the numbers climb as high as 74%. But it's not just Republicans or conservatives who are sick of living this way.

60% of independents cited high taxes and 43% the political culture.

If the California GOP were even marginally competent, it could do something with that.

Since 2013 the proportion of Democrats describing the state as one of the best places to live has increased fourteen points from 53% to 67%. Similar increases are seen among voters describing themselves as liberal in politics. By contrast,the proportion of Republicans who feel California is one of the best places to live has declined six points over the past six years from 29% in 2013 to just 23%, while among very conservative voters there has been a twelve-point decline from 31% in 2013 to 19% at present."
