A recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California reveals that 71% of likely voters support Proposition 36, which aims to reinstate felony penalties for certain theft and drug offenses, indicating strong backing across political affiliations. The measure, which seeks to amend changes made by Proposition 47 in 2014, reflects growing concerns over crime in the state, with 26% of voters indicating it is their most significant issue this election. Major retailers initially funded the proposition but have not contributed further as campaigns ramp up. Other measures, such as Proposition 3 to enshrine same-sex marriage rights and various bond initiatives, also see substantial support. The survey, conducted among over 1,000 likely voters, demonstrates that attitudes could shift as the election approaches, but current sentiment shows a clear majority in favor of tougher crime policies. Political dynamics also favor Democrats, with Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by a significant margin among likely voters.
