Maybe it’s the sun, or the proximity of the holiday season, or the fact that the Chargers are finally playing up to their potential, but San Diegans are generally optimistic about the city’s future, according to a survey done this month by Competitive Edge Research for a local think tank.
In a Nov. 27 report on the results, 50 percent of respondents say the city is moving in the right direction, the highest percentage since March. Those who say the city is on the wrong track made up 32 percent of those responding, which is 2 points above the level reported for January, but down from the 35 percent negative opinion in July.
