Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A preliminary exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research found Harris easily defeated her fellow Democrat, U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez faced an uphill battle ever since the June primary, when Harris won 53 out of California’s 58 counties. Sanchez barely edged out Harris in her own Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney general was boosted by her close ties to President Obama, the state Democratic Party, labor unions and other key constituencies. In the final weeks, she won endorsements from Gov. Jerry Brown and Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Clegg, a key Harris campaign strategist, says her quick decision to jump into the race less than a week after Boxer announced her retirement in 2015 framed the contest from the beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting into the ring early and standing up as the most formidable candidate forced every potential candidate to analyze the race through the lens of: ‘Can I beat Kamala Harris?'” Clegg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tom Steyer, the billion-dollar man, Antonio Villaraigosa (former Los Angeles mayor) and leading members of Congress all concluded they couldn’t,” Clegg added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, Democrats like Los Angeles Rep. Xavier Becerra or Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti might have given Harris a stronger race than Sanchez did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having twice run and won statewide, Harris benefited from higher name recognition than Sanchez. And Sanchez, who stressed her immigrant roots and middle-class upbringing, was never able to make serious inroads into key Democratic constituencies. Her reckless comments about Muslims and Native Americans didn’t help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Sanchez was running to become the first Latina senator in the United States, Harris outmaneuvered her in the Latino community, winning an endorsement from La Opinion newspaper in the primary and from farm labor leader Dolores Huerta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez was left trying to win over Republicans who found themselves without a candidate in the general election. Even there, Harris exceeded expectations in pre-election polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a remarkable rise for Harris, whose first statewide race for attorney general in 2010 was so close that it took more than three weeks to determine that the San Francisco district attorney had defeated Republican Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, an upset few predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January Harris heads to Washington with a national profile and rising expectations, not unlike Barack Obama or Elizabeth Warren did. Job one might be convincing her new colleagues that she’s not a showboat, but rather a substantive legislator they can do business with in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez faced an uphill battle ever since the June primary, when Harris won 53 out of California’s 58 counties. Sanchez barely edged out Harris in her own Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney general was boosted by her close ties to President Obama, the state Democratic Party, labor unions and other key constituencies. In the final weeks, she won endorsements from Gov. Jerry Brown and Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sean Clegg, a key Harris campaign strategist, says her quick decision to jump into the race less than a week after Boxer announced her retirement in 2015 framed the contest from the beginning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And, he added, Republicans are a lot less excited than they were in the last presidential race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That gap in enthusiasm has implications not just for the top of the ticket but what goes on in some of the legislative races and local races this year,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare found all voters are pretty lukewarm about their choice of presidential candidates, even though Clinton leads GOP nominee Donald Trump 54 to 28 percent. And, the poll found that more than one-third of Republicans said they are planning to simply forgo voting in the Senate race between two Democrats: Harris and Orange County congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC survey found Harris has a 2-1 lead over Sanchez, a margin that has increased since the organization's last poll in September. Baldassare said the attorney general started with some advantages, including better recognition among voters because she's run for statewide office twice before. But Sanchez has also apparently failed to make inroads among the Republican and independent voters she would have needed to make a real stand against Harris, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'When you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress.' \u003ccite>PPIC President Mark Baldassare\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>PPIC found Harris leading Sanchez 42 to 20 percent, with the margin growing to 27 points in Harris' favor -- 51 to 24 percent -- when you exclude the likely voters who say they won't weigh in on the contest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while right-leaning voters may sit out this race, Baldassare cautioned against assuming that Republicans and more conservative independent voters will sit out future races with two Democrats on the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it’s a U.S. senator it's different than it might be for a race for governor or lieutenant governor or controller or treasurer -- because when you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress,\" he said, noting that 84 percent of Republicans told PPIC they want the GOP to control Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also looked at four of the 17 statewide ballot measures facing voters this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most surprising, Baldassare said, support for Proposition 51, the proposed $9 billion school bond, is hovering around 46 percent with just 12 percent undecided. That support was also low in PPIC's last poll, he said. Yet when the poll asked voters if they generally support school bonds, 59 percent said yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be several reasons for that disconnect, Baldassare said, including that the ballot measure summary notes the bond will require $500 million a year in payments for 35 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a big bond, that's a large amount, and that may be, more than anything else, giving people pause,\" he said, especially \"in the absence of a strong message of support from the governor, the Legislature, and business and labor ... many people who would normally support a school bond in this case are giving it a pass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146821\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11146821\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A ballot measure to increase the tax on tobacco products -- including electronic cigarettes -- appears likely to pass. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ballot measure to increase the tax on tobacco products -- including electronic cigarettes -- appears likely to pass. \u003ccite>(Joe Raedle/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Voters are backing two tax measures, PPIC found. Proposition 55 --which would extend income tax hikes on individual Californians making more than $250,000 a year and couples making more than $500,000 -- is sitting pretty with 59 percent support. And Proposition 56, a proposed $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products, is enjoying 56 support despite heavy campaigning against the measure by the tobacco industry, which has poured more than $70 million into defeating the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said the strong support for both measures seems to reflect the politics of the time: People are happy to tax the wealthy, and are concerned about health care costs. Proposition 56 revenues would largely be spent on health care programs for low-income Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's so many concerns about funding health care today, every place you turn there are questions about it. ... I think this has caught people's attention and been one of the reasons support has remained fairly steady for the cigarette tax increase,\" Baldassare said, adding that some voters may also discount the No on 56 ads if they have concerns about who's funding them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146816\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11146816\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"California voters are leaning toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. \" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-800x504.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-1180x743.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-960x605.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California voters are leaning toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J.

And, the poll found that more than one-third of Republicans said they are planning to simply forgo voting in the Senate race between two Democrats: Harris and Orange County congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC survey found Harris has a 2-1 lead over Sanchez, a margin that has increased since the organization's last poll in September. Baldassare said the attorney general started with some advantages, including better recognition among voters because she's run for statewide office twice before. But Sanchez has also apparently failed to make inroads among the Republican and independent voters she would have needed to make a real stand against Harris, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'When you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress.' \u003ccite>PPIC President Mark Baldassare\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>PPIC found Harris leading Sanchez 42 to 20 percent, with the margin growing to 27 points in Harris' favor -- 51 to 24 percent -- when you exclude the likely voters who say they won't weigh in on the contest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while right-leaning voters may sit out this race, Baldassare cautioned against assuming that Republicans and more conservative independent voters will sit out future races with two Democrats on the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it’s a U.S. senator it's different than it might be for a race for governor or lieutenant governor or controller or treasurer -- because when you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress,\" he said, noting that 84 percent of Republicans told PPIC they want the GOP to control Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also looked at four of the 17 statewide ballot measures facing voters this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most surprising, Baldassare said, support for Proposition 51, the proposed $9 billion school bond, is hovering around 46 percent with just 12 percent undecided. That support was also low in PPIC's last poll, he said. Yet when the poll asked voters if they generally support school bonds, 59 percent said yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be several reasons for that disconnect, Baldassare said, including that the ballot measure summary notes the bond will require $500 million a year in payments for 35 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a big bond, that's a large amount, and that may be, more than anything else, giving people pause,\" he said, especially \"in the absence of a strong message of support from the governor, the Legislature, and business and labor ... many people who would normally support a school bond in this case are giving it a pass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146821\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11146821\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A ballot measure to increase the tax on tobacco products -- including electronic cigarettes -- appears likely to pass. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ballot measure to increase the tax on tobacco products -- including electronic cigarettes -- appears likely to pass. \u003ccite>(Joe Raedle/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Voters are backing two tax measures, PPIC found.
