Independent, objective, nonpartisan research

Some findings of the current survey:

  • California’s likely voters favor raising income taxes on the wealthy to increase funding for public schools, but they oppose raising the state sales tax.
  • Just over half of likely voters—54%—would vote yes on Governor Brown’s proposed tax initiative and a strong majority oppose automatic cuts to K-12 education if the initiative is rejected.
  • An overwhelming majority prefer local control over state funds for schools.
