Statewide Survey PPIC Statewide Survey: Special Survey of Los Angeles By Mark Baldassare Mar 16, 2005 Some findings of the current survey Los Angeles residents are stunningly unhappy with some key indicators of quality of life: Large majorities say traffic congestion on freeways and major roads (74%) and the availability of affordable housing (64%) are big problems in the county today, up markedly from just two years ago (67% traffic, 54%affordable housing). Assessments of police protection and the quality of parks, beaches, and recreation facilities have fallen considerably from the ratings given only one year ago. In addition, only one-third of county residents give excellent or good ratings to the condition of streets and roads (32% today, 51% in 2004) and public schools (36% today, 43% in 2004). County residents are more likely to believe that the county will be a worse place to live in twenty years (37%) than a better place (24%). Only 28% of the likely voters in the city of Los Angeles say that they trust their city government to do what is right just about always or most of the time. Crime and gangs remain the top issue concerning county residents (21%), followed by education (17%), and traffic (10%). One-third of county residents hope to leave Los Angeles County in the next five years. This survey – the third in an annual series of PPIC surveys of Los Angeles County – is a special edition of the PPIC Statewide Survey, which periodically includes regional and special-theme surveys. The intent of this survey is to provide an objective, in-depth profile of the public opinions, policy preferences, and economic, social, and political trends in Los Angeles County – the most populous county in the nation.

Majorities say their parks and beaches (84%), freeways and roads (64%), and schools (64%) are excellent or good. Over two-thirds of the county’s residents (69%) rate the local economy as excellent or good. Virtually all county homeowners (98%) say they are satisfied with the homes they live in, and most (80%) are very satisfied. In the recent presidential election, heavily Republican Orange County gave the nod to Bush (60%) over Kerry (39%). County residents give the Republican governor sky-high marks: 68% say they approve of Schwarzenegger’s job performance (7 points higher than his statewide standing). Orange County residents (62%) are also substantially more likely than Californians as a whole (44%) to say the state is going in the right direction. This survey is a special edition of the PPIC Statewide Survey, which periodically includes regional and special-theme surveys. The intent of the current survey is to provide timely, accurate, and objective information about policy preferences and economic, social, and political trends in Orange County.
