Key findings from the current survey:
- A slim majority of likely voters support Proposition 15, which would change how commercial property is taxed.
- Well below half of likely voters support Proposition 16, which would repeal the state’s ban on affirmative action in the public sector.
- Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by a wide margin, with 60 percent of likely voters favoring Biden/Harris and 31 percent favoring Trump/Pence.
- Most Californians remain concerned about contracting COVID-19, but a slim majority believe the worst is behind us.
The PPIC Statewide Survey delivers nonpartisan, objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents.

The PPIC Statewide Survey relies on-a rigorous survey methodology-and is a charter member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research Transparency Initiative. The survey is conducted regularly throughout the year in the key areas of government, the environment, K-12 education, and higher education.
