California poll: Trump’s numbers dropping into ‘uncharted territory’


Less than two weeks before Election Day, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris have commanding leads and propositions to legalize marijuana and levy a $2-per-pack tax increase on cigarettes appear heading for approval.


A new poll shows that Donald Trump, seen here after the first presidential debate, could have the worst showing of any Republican nominee in California in nearly a century.

Donald Trump is careening toward a historically poor showing in California, a prospect that has left several GOP congressmen fearful for their seats and Democrats hopeful they can regain a supermajority in the Legislature.


According to a new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California, in just one month Democrat Hillary Clinton’s lead over Trump has soared from 16 to 26 points as the brash billionaire’s campaign has imploded amid allegations that he’s a serial groper. He now has the support of only 28 percent of likely California voters, the poll found.

The contest for retiring U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer’s seat is also unlikely to deliver much drama on election night, the poll found. California Attorney General Kamala Harris leads Loretta Sanchez, an Orange County congresswoman, by 22 points....................

[beachbum bob]

3. Issa needs kicked out and that will almost make this election worth it

[DK504]

14. That's my favorite

Issa using President Obama as a prop to get reelected. HA! Can't wait for him to go down in flames.

[Old Vet]

4. Honestly, I dont think many are surprised bt this, Ther majority are educated......

Trumps worse nightmare are educated voters, Who can see thru his bullshit.

[whatthehey]

11. CA ranks 48/50 on HS grad rate and somewhere in the teens on degreed rate

The population is quite diverse. It's not all Silicon Valley.

18. Yeah, the GOP really did a number on California's public education system.

In the 1960s and 1970s, California was #1 in the nation in its K-12 public school system.

Then, Grover Norquist led a movement to pass Prop 13 in 1978, lowering and severely limiting property taxes.

Schools are funded through property taxes.

Prop 13 limited property tax increases to 2% annually from an initial 1% of property value. However, the rates of inflation were often 3% or higher during the time.

Most of the public schools saw their funding slashed by 50% or more and any increase in funding was much lower than the inflation rate. Thus, the buying power of the schools was hurt even more, and gradually got worse throughout 2 decades.

Then, 16 years of Republican governors (George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson) in the 1980s and 1990s continued the bleeding.

5. Good.

[Ligyron]

6. Wish I'd moved to Cali long ago.

Too late now, I'm old, lol.

[Divine Discontent]

19. ha! well, I shoulda stayed there! now I'm getting too old.

[saltpoint]

7. Those percentages are sounding pretty

darn good for us and not so darn good for that Mr. Trump person.

Wouldn't mind one bit if voters tossed Congressman Issa overboard.

[tblue37]

8. GOP attacks on Latinos turned CA reliably blue after Pete Wilson. Trump is helping Latino voters all

over the country to recognize the bigotry in the GOP. Interestingly, the unabashed manifestation of the party's embrace of white supremacy has also driven away Asian voters.

[NBachers]

9. And we need Mike Honda to defeat Ro Khanna, who is a Republican pretending to be a Democrat.

10. "Trump; I will WIN State of California"

[Sunlei]

12. on Texas news last night-10% of Harris county registered voters have 'early voted'

Lines were quite long the first couple days, some waited a couple hours. I didn't notice any protesters of any type in the 100 foot required distance line.

[Yavin4]

13. I'm so old. I remember when CA was a Republican strong hold. n/t

[Skittles]

25. you want I should kick your geezer ass, Yavin4?

I am on a geezer roll tonight; yes INDEED

[Yavin4]

26. Geezer and proud of it!

Bring it on.

[Skittles]

28. that's the spirit!

I too will embrace geezerdome with VIGOR!

[nolabels]

15. Serial groper has been chosen as the GOP's top of ticket

Then what to me seems worse, is the folks who are still supporting him regardless of all his scandalous behaviour and cannot understand why the rest us wouldn't.

[ffr]

16. Donald now has the support of only 28 percent of likely California voters

That's the core of the republican base, 26 - 28%. Those people would put a check by his name while they stood in line to be hazed by him. I get that. But who are these other 8% who identify with that same fringe base?

[Divine Discontent]

21. I'm guessin'

[Divine Discontent]

20. cheese and crackers! talk about a repudiation! This is the largest population state & they're on

the verge of a massive FU to Donnie! I hope that helps Issa lose!

[awoke_in_2003]

22. And Texas is within distance

for HRC. If Texas falls, it's over, Donnie (my apologies to Col. Troutman).

[Divine Discontent]

23. well, if our fellow Americans who call themselves Republican had any decency

they'd reject him representing all of them, to show that they're not offensive monsters who support him, and she'd take all but one or two states. I know a decent amount have, but by no means the to the level that should reject him. He'd have to commit a really filthy act on stage to lose half his support, and still, he'd have 20 millions backers after that! Some people are truly sick and deplorable...
