Poll: CA Unpopular

KTLA5 reports a Los Angeles Times survey (behind paywall) which found that some 48% of Republicans believe California is "not really American." Plus 2/3 of those surveyed believed "the state's impact on the country has been a net negative." An official of the polling firm summarized their findings thus. 
If you are a more conservative American, you basically do not like California.

Analysis: True.  Hat tip to Ed Driscoll, posting at Instapundit, for the link.

Afterthought:  I love California the place - the beaches, mountains, verdant valleys, the climate. I don’t like what it has become as a result of human activity. 

Bottom line, I like the place, not its people, not its culture, certainly not its politics. It is a gorgeous place, once idyllic, now despoiled. That, dear reader, is a damned shame.
