About this Poll
The PPIC Statewide Survey is directed by Mark Baldassare, president and CEO and survey director at
the Public Policy Institute of California, with assistance from survey research associate Rachel Lawler,
project manager for this survey, associate survey director Dean Bonner, and survey research associate
Alyssa Dykman. The Californians and Their Government series is supported with funding from the Arjay
and Frances F. Miller Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, and the PPIC Donor Circle. The PPIC
Statewide Survey 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
PPIC’s survey team.
Findings in this report are based on a survey of 1,706 California adult residents, including 1,278
interviewed on cell phones and 428 interviewed on landline telephones. The sample included 514
respondents reached by calling back respondents who had previously completed an interview in PPIC
Statewide Surveys in the last six months. Interviews took an average of 19 minutes to complete.
Interviewing took place on weekend days and weekday nights from May 17–26, 2020.
