PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

By Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, Alyssa Dykman, Rachel Lawler

Key findings from the current survey include: In the Democratic presidential primary race, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders lead the rest of the field by a wide margin. Californians see homelessness and the economy as the state’s top issues. Most view immigrants as a benefit to the state; majorities oppose restricting abortion rights and access. A school construction bond slated for the March 2020 ballot has a slim margin of support; fewer than half of likely voters support a potential November 2020 measure that would create a “split roll” property tax and direct some of the revenue to schools.
