PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, David Kordus, Lunna Lopes | October 2016

Summary

Some findings of the current survey:

  • Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by a wide margin in California, and half of likely voters are more enthusiastic about voting than usual.
  • In the US Senate race, Kamala Harris leads Loretta Sanchez by 22 points; a third of Republicans say they will not vote in this race.
  • Majorities favor measures to extend a tax on high incomes, increase cigarette taxes, and legalize marijuana, but the state school bond measure fails to garner majority support.
  • Slightly more than half of Californians have a favorable view of the Democratic Party; fewer than one in four view the Republican Party favorably.
