Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

PPIC’s statewide survey on Californians and their government examines likely voters’ preferences in the 2020 presidential and congressional elections along with Californians’ views on confirmation of a Supreme Court justice. It also gauges support for the “split roll” property tax (Proposition 15) and for repealing the state’s ban on affirmative action in the public sector (Proposition 16).

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 presidential race, Biden maintains a wide lead over Trump, and Californians are more enthusiastic about voting than usual. Views fall along party lines for confirming Judge Barrett to the Supreme Court, while majorities across parties oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. On ballot measures, likely voters are divided on Proposition 15, the “split roll” property tax, and support is low for Proposition 16, which would reinstate affirmative action. At least half of Californians would get a COVID-19 vaccine, but two in three are concerned about a vaccine being rushed.
