Statewide Survey PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Education By Mark Baldassare, Lunna Lopes, Dean Bonner, David Kordus Apr 19, 2017 A solid majority of Californians favor tax-funded vouchers that would allow parents to send their children to any school they choose.

Statewide Survey PPIC Statewide Survey Californians and Higher Education By Mark Baldassare, Lunna Lopes, Dean Bonner, David Kordus Dec 8, 2016 Californians give the state’s public higher education system high marks, but see affordability as a big problem.

While nearly all see the system as important to the state’s future, Californians are divided on whether a college education is necessary for individual success in today’s economy.

Statewide Survey PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government By Mark Baldassare, Lunna Lopes, Dean Bonner, David Kordus Oct 26, 2016 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.
