By Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, Lauren Mora, Deja Thomas

Key findings of the survey include: Seven in ten likely voters favor Proposition 36, which would increase penalties for some theft and drug crimes. Six in ten likely voters would vote for Harris/Walz if the presidential election were held today, while 29% would vote for Trump/Vance. Democrats lead in likely voter preferences for US House candidates, and 52% of likely voters are more enthusiastic than usual about voting in this year’s congressional races.
