Six in 10 Californians are concerned about having enough money to pay their rent or mortgage.
Californians are highly supportive (65%) of the $800 billion federal economic stimulus package, but are divided (46% approve, 46% disapprove) about the government’s giving money to banks and other financial institutions.
