But poll finds upbeat outlook toward entire state down slightly
BY TOM HESTER SR., NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM
Two in three New Jerseyans rate the state as either an excellent (15 percent) or good (47 percent) place to live, a figure that is down slightly from an October survey, according to a Monmouth University Poll made public Tuesday.
However, ratings of residents’ own towns stand at 33 percent excellent and 41 percent good. The 33 percent excellent number matches the prior three-decade high for this measure.
Ratings of local schools have ticked up as well, to 26 percent excellent and 42 percent good. The 68 percent positive rating marks an all-time high on this question in polls going back to 1978.
