California is Not Prepared for the Next Economic Downturn

In a new poll presented exclusively to the Sacramento Bee, Probolsky Research has found that most voters do not think California state government is prepared for the next recession.

More than 62% of voters say the state is not prepared, while just 19% think it is. A majority of every demographic and geographic group says the state is not prepared.

“It is rare that we find agreement across every group on an issue. A majority of voters of every party, ethnicity and location with in the state agree that California is not prepared for the next recession,” explains Adam Probolsky, president of Probolsky Research. “The memory of the last recession just about ten years ago is fresh in the minds of voters. Many of them were teenagers and young adults at the time and saw the devastating impact it had on their families.”

The results of the poll can be viewed here:
