Poll: Californians have no desire to split state
By David Siders, Sacramento Bee
Officials in Siskiyou and Modoc counties may want to secede from California, but the rest of the state has no desire to see them go.
Just one-quarter of California voters support allowing the state’s northernmost counties to break away from California, according to a new Field Poll.
Fifty-nine percent of registered voters statewide oppose such an effort, according to the poll. Opposition to the effort is bipartisan, with majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters all opposed.
