"content": "\u003cp>California Attorney General Kamala Harris has seized the state’s open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. 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",

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.

That support has slipped slightly since last month, when 60 percent of likely voters told PPIC they were voting for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare called that slip in support \"a point of caution\" for the Proposition 64 campaign but said that, in general, Californians' views on marijuana legalization have shifted considerably toward the pro-side since we last weighed in on the issue six years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think that compared to the last time there was a marijuana legalization initiative on ballot this one’s in a strong position, because you have 57 percent of California likely voters saying they support legalization in general, and 55 percent saying they support this measure,\" he said. \"So there's a lot of consistent evidence that support is relatively high and different from what we've seen in the past.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said he was particularly interested by the wide range of demographics now supporting Proposition 64. While voters under the age of 35 report the strongest support -- 78 percent of them told PPIC they will vote for the measure -- 57 percent of those ages 35 to 54 also are backing Proposition 64. There's also majority support across regions; and Latinos are the only ethic group evenly split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In general, it's in relatively strong shape,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Support is much higher -- 69 percent-- among those who say they have tried marijuana, compared with 40 percent support for those who have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report is based on a telephone survey of 1,704 California adult residents.

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.

That support has slipped slightly since last month, when 60 percent of likely voters told PPIC they were voting for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare called that slip in support \"a point of caution\" for the Proposition 64 campaign but said that, in general, Californians' views on marijuana legalization have shifted considerably toward the pro-side since we last weighed in on the issue six years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think that compared to the last time there was a marijuana legalization initiative on ballot this one’s in a strong position, because you have 57 percent of California likely voters saying they support legalization in general, and 55 percent saying they support this measure,\" he said. \"So there's a lot of consistent evidence that support is relatively high and different from what we've seen in the past.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said he was particularly interested by the wide range of demographics now supporting Proposition 64. While voters under the age of 35 report the strongest support -- 78 percent of them told PPIC they will vote for the measure -- 57 percent of those ages 35 to 54 also are backing Proposition 64. There's also majority support across regions; and Latinos are the only ethic group evenly split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In general, it's in relatively strong shape,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Support is much higher -- 69 percent-- among those who say they have tried marijuana, compared with 40 percent support for those who have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ted Cruz, who are willing to attack fellow senators in the name of ideological purity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that kind of behavior doesn't make for an effective senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's annoying,\" Sandalow says. \"When you think of the great senators in U.S. history, it's people who understood the inside game and were willing to do things with their colleagues to move the ball forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer gained national attention in the 1980s as a rabble-rousing member of the House pointing out \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Barbara_Boxer\">Pentagon waste\u003c/a> -- the infamous $600 toilet seat. She followed that up in 1991 during the confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. She joined a group of Democratic House members who crashed a Senate luncheon to complain about their treatment of Anita Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She (and Sen.

But she's also won over staunch conservatives, like Oklahoma Republican \u003ca href=\"http://www.inhofe.senate.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Sen. James Inhofe\u003c/a>, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee and a leading climate change denier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a genuine, close friendship with Barbara,\" Inhofe says. \"She and I joke around a lot, probably more on the floor with each other, and that just drives everybody nuts. Each one knows where the other one is and we can love each other anyway.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite polar opposite views on environmental issues, Boxer and Inhofe have managed to work together to pass bipartisan transportation bills and an overhaul of chemical safety standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer describes her \"when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em\" strategy of legislating as an art form. Bottom line: You need to know when to set aside ideological purity to get something done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes a certain ability to hold tough where you know you have to in order to look at yourself in the mirror, but also to find those areas where you can come together,” Boxer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between Boxer and Feinstein, UC's Sandalow says Feinstein is more in the traditional style of a senator -- less vitriol and more behind-the-scenes consensus building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11116433\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11116433\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Boxer-800x493.jpg\" alt=\"Retiring U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer.\" width=\"800\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Boxer-800x493.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Boxer-400x246.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Boxer.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Boxer-1180x727.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Boxer-960x592.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Retiring U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer. \u003ccite>(Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Boxer, on the other hand, \"is more of a flamethrower\" Sandalow says, recalling her attacks on fellow Sen. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/08/us/packwood-case-overview-packwood-says-he-quitting-ethics-panel-gives-evidence.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Packwood \u003c/a>(R-Oregon) after he was accused of sexual harassment.

Both issues give her a chance to appeal to conservative voters in her search for support beyond her party's Democratic base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also spent a few minutes telling the crowd about the challenges and the costs she's encountering as she tries to build a unit in her backyard for her aging mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Sanchez fielded a question about recent news stories that she ducked out of a debate with Harris that was proposed for Sept. 20 in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez told the crowd she had other commitments on that day, but was willing to debate during the four other proposed times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not afraid of debating. I would like four debates, you know. She put out: ‘I’m only taking these two.’ I said I’ve accepted four,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Harris leading in recent polls by wide margins, there’s little political incentive for the front-runner to make herself widely available.

It yielded 915 completed surveys and 44 partially completed surveys. CALSPEAKS obtains a representative sample of Californians, stratified by the five major regions in the state. For information on the methodology, please visit: \u003ca href=\"http://www.csus.edu/isr/calspeaks/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.csus.edu/isr/calspeaks/\u003c/a>.

However, the margins of error are larger if focusing on smaller subgroups, especially racial or ethnic subgroups. These are equal or less than +/- 16 percentage points for African-Americans, and 10 percentage points for Latinos or those of \"other races/ethnicities\" (including Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and those of mixed race/ethnicity).
