Schwarzenegger: Californians ‘right to be angry’
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he doesn’t blame Californians for believing the state will be worse off when he leaves office than when he started.
Schwarzenegger on Monday told a gathering of the Sacramento Press Club that he believes the people have a right to be angry given the lack of progress in improving the economy.
A new Field Poll released Sunday found that 59 percent of registered voters believe the Republican governor will leave California in worse shape than when he assumed office in 2003.
He also has an approval rating of just 27 percent among registered voters.
Schwarzenegger says that should prompt Democrats and Republicans to work together to create jobs and address the state’s budget problems.
