PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

Some findings of the current survey:

• Only one of the six propositions on the May 19 special election ballot has majority support from likely voters. Opposition to all six has risen since March.
• Fifty-seven percent of Californians say things in the United States are generally going in the right direction, the first time a majority has said so since the question was first asked in 2003.
• While nearly half of Californians say they are very or somewhat worried about personal or family job loss, this share has declined 11 points since January.
