For the second straight year, California took the #1 spot as the state where the most Americans want to live. Harris didn't say why the majority of its 2,215 respondents might prefer California with its financial troubles and a recently recalled governor.  Coming in third despite a decline in tourism was Hawaii, which like California has a high cost of living according to Harris.  The poll, conducted online from July 14-20, 2003 named the next most popular states to live as: Florida (#2), Colorado (#4), New York (#5), Arizona (#6), Texas (#7), North Carolina (#8), Virginia (#9) & Washington (#10).
