A new poll finds New Jerseyans have mixed views about living in the Garden State.
The Rutgers-Eagleton Poll out Thursday finds that 78 percent of New Jerseyans feel positive about the communities in which they live.
However, they are far more negative about the state itself. Just over half feel positive about living in New Jersey, and a majority believe the state has become a worse place to live over the past five to 10 years.
The telephone poll of 906 New Jersey adults was conducted Dec. 2-6. It has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
