Statewide Survey:
Californians and Their Government
Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, Lauren Mora, and Deja Thomas
KEY FINDINGS
- Seven in ten likely voters favor Proposition 36, which would increase penalties for some theft and drug crimes; six in ten or more support Prop 3 (right to marriage), Prop 4 (climate bond), and Prop 35 (Medi-Cal funding).
- Economic conditions, housing, and homelessness are likely voters’ top state issues; political extremism/threats to democracy, the economy, and immigration are the most important national problems.
- Democrats lead in likely voters’ preferences for presidential, US Senate, and US House candidates, and most say voting is very important in 2024.

About the Survey
The PPIC Statewide Survey delivers objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents. PPIC’s survey team invites input, comments, and suggestions from policy and public opinion experts and from its own advisory committee, but survey methods, questions, and content are determined solely by the survey team. PPIC relies on a rigorous survey methodology and is a charter member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research Transparency Initiative. The PPIC Statewide Survey is conducted regularly throughout the year in the key
areas of government, the environment, K–12 education, and higher education.
