(ISSN 0195-4520) By Mark DiCamillo, Director, The Field Poll Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's lead over businessman Donald Trump has slipped in California. While Clinton continues to hold a sizable seventeen-point statewide advantage (50% to 33%) over Trump in this year's presidential election, that margin is down from twenty-four points in July, prior to the Democratic and Republican national conventions. These results come from a new statewide Field/IGS Poll, conducted jointly by The Field Poll and UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies, and administered through YouGov's online panel. The proportion of likely voters holding an unfavorable view of the former First Lady has also increased ten points over the same period. More Californians now view her unfavorably (53%) than favorably (47%), a reversal from July. In addition, a very large proportion of the state's electorate (41%) now reports having a "very unfavorable" opinion of Clinton.

  • Green Party to “Draft Bernie” Organizers Hoping to Launch a New Party: Go Green!
    Green Party to “Draft Bernie” organizers hoping to launch a new party: Go Green! “Why reinvent the wheel? Come home to the Green Party” say Greens as the People’s Convergence conference begins in Washington, D.C. Green Party leaders are challenging organizers and voters convening in Washington, D.C., to discuss founding a new progressive party centered around Bernie Sanders to recognize that such a party already exists and to “Go Green.” The “People’s Convergence” is meeting from September 8 through 10 at American University and will present a “Draft Bernie” petition to Sen. Bernie Sanders that asks him to lead a new People’s Party. “The Draft Bernie movement is right when they say that the two ruling parties have failed the American people and that ‘We the People’ need an alternative party. The new party must be committed to social and economic justice, peace, and the health of our planet. It must be a working people’s party that rejects corporate money and influence. Greens have already established that party,” said Darryl! L.C. Moch, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States. “We invite the People’s Convergence to come home to the Green Party,” said Mr. Moch. Greens plan to attend the People’s Convergence and let participants know that the Green Party has FEC recog- nition, ballot status in most states, a grassroots base of voters and elected officials, and a strong platform. “48,000 signatures on the Draft Bernie petition is a great display of support. Greens gathered far more and got them notarized for ballot access in 2016.
