PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government

Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, Sonja Petek, and Nicole Willcoxon

Some findings of the current survey:

  • Fifty-three percent of Californians support Governor Brown’s special election proposal to extend tax and fee increases.
  • Majorities would be willing to raise taxes to spare K-12 education, higher education, and health and human services from cuts.
  • The share of residents who see the state as going in the right direction-a minority-is up 22 points since October.
