PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

Some findings of the current survey:

• Governor Brown leads Neel Kashkari by 16 points in the gubernatorial election; attention to election news and enthusiasm about voting is lower than in past elections.
• Majorities support the water bond (56% to 32%) as record-high shares say that their regional water supply is a big problem.
• Proposition 45, which would regulate health insurance rate changes, is down 9 points since last month, but the share considering the outcome as very important is up 11 points.
• The share of Californians with unfavorable opinions of both major parties has increased since the last presidential election.
