A national poll released Tuesday claims New Jersey has the second-most negative perception of any state.

Public Policy Polling surveyed 3,300 registered voters across the U.S. and asked if they had a favorable view of various states. New Jersey, so often the butt of jokes in television and movies, had the second-highest portion of unfavorable votes at 32 percent, while 25 percent view it as favorable and 42 percent unsure.

California was the only state perceived to be worse by voters — a whopping 44 percent see the Golden State as negative, compared to 27 percent positive. The most beloved state was Hawaii, which received 54 percent positive responses and only 10 percent negative.

The survey broke down the results by demographics as well. New Jersey's highest marks came from people identified as "somewhat conservative," who were 31 percent positive, 33 percent negative. Political moderates gave it just a 20 percent positive rating.

Rounding out the bottom five were Illinois, Mississippi and Utah. Besides Hawaii the top five were Colorado, Tennessee, South Dakota and Virginia.
