The Norcal Record interviewed Prof. Andrew Sinclair about the Rose Institute of State and Local Government report and survey, “Red vs. Blue States: Competing Visions for 2022 and 2024.” Sinclair co-authored the report with Prof. Kenneth P. Miller, who is the director of the Rose Institute.

The Norcal Record focused on the portion of the survey findings that among all registered voters in California, 44 percent said if they had the opportunity, they would leave the state. Of those people who are interested in leaving, one in three is Republican and one in four is Democrat.

“Understandably, people find times challenging and so they think about a new and better life some other place,” Sinclair said. “But I was surprised the numbers were as high as they were.”
