Yes, the latest poll of people living in New Jersey is that 49% would leave tomorrow if they could.

Gee Wizz........ I wonder why?

Well, for year's I've noticed people would say, "I'm FROM New Jersey," and never "I LIVE in New Jersey." Even when they're there, they want to be FROM there!

Now that's funny, but unfortunately it certainly is getting that way.

I wonder what percentage of people who do not live in Jersey would move there if given the chance?

According to the poll, the majority are moving to PA, and Ohio. Although I know quite a few who moved down to Delaware. These are younger people. Old geezers like me usually do the retirement flight to warmer places. Something about shoveling snow, and long johns, and old age not mixing.

"ONLY" 49%???????? Seems low to me :-)

Nothing against Jersey, but I spent a week there one afternoon.
