Support for CA High-Speed Rail Drops, But Desire for Benefits Remains Strong

"A majority of Californians don’t want the state’s controversial high-speed rail line, says a recent poll for USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times," reports Isabel Angell. "But at the same time, over two thirds of the voters surveyed said they think the project would create jobs and help the state’s economy. And 61% said a high-speed rail line would help reduce traffic at airports and on the highways."

No doubt, the project's repeatedly delayed start date has contributed to the growing angst.
