SOUTHLAND – (INT) – Likely California voters seem quite sure of their favorite candidates on the November 5th ballot.

Most want change as 70% say things in the country are generally going in the wrong direction.

The Public Policy Institute of California’s (PPIC) latest poll found Kamala Harris and Tim Walz (D) leading Donald Trump and J.D. Vance (R) by a 31 point margin (60% to 29%) in the presidential race.

California voters will elect a US Senator and 52 House members. The competitive House races that may determine the party in control of a closely divided Congress are being carefully watched. There are ten state propositions—five legislative ballot measures and five citizens’ initiatives.

Adam Schiff (D) is favored over Steve Garvey (R) by a wide 63%-to-35% margin in the Senate election.

Likely voters would choose their local Democratic Congressional candidate over the Republican by a wide margin if the election were today. The results have been similar in polling after the March primary, the PPIC found.

Majorities favor the Democratic candidate over the Republican across demographic groups and in the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange/San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
