  • PPIC Statewide Survey
    Preface California is now in the midst of historic changes that will profoundly affect the future of the state. To improve understanding of these changes and their effect on the political status quo, PPIC will conduct a series of large-scale public opinion surveys that will provide the public and policymakers with relevant—advocacy-free—information on the following: • Californians' overall impressions and concerns about the economy, population growth, governance, and quality of life and about key issues such as education, welfare, and immigration. • Differences in social and political attitudes among different demographic, age, and economic groups and across different regions of the state. • The characteristics of groups that are shaping the state's elections and policy debates. • The political attitudes underlying "voter distrust" of government and low voter turnout and how both affect the outcomes of elections and the success of ballot initiatives. This is the first of the 1998 surveys. Press Release SIGNIFICANT CROSS-OVER VOTING LIKELY IN STATE’S FIRST OPEN PRIMARY, SURVEY SUGGESTS Crime Still Tops List of Policy Problems in California, But Majority Believe State Headed in Right Direction SAN FRANCISCO, California, April 15, 1998 — California’s first open primary is attracting a significant amount of cross-over voting in the race for Governor, according to a statewide survey released today by the Public Policy Institute of California. The first in a series of large-scale surveys conducted by Mark Baldassare shows Al Checchi with 19% support, Jane Harman 18%, and Gray Davis 12% among likely voters. Republican Dan Lungren receives 23%. While Checchi and Harman draw nearly equal support from Democrats, Checchi is attracting considerably more support than Harman from the Republican ranks (17% to 7%), including Republican women, and other voters (including independents).

  • Political Behavior/Participation
    POLITICAL BEHAVIOR/PARTICIPATION Chapter 3 Demythicizing the Asian-American Campaign Contributor Wendy K. Tam Cho However one would like to portray or interpret the 1996 campaign finance scan- dals, there is no dispute that Asian Americans were clearly central figures. And although the public is rarely interested in the role of Asian Americans in Ameri- can politics, in this instance, this group of contributors attracted considerable attention from the media. This attention, albeit negative, cast the connection between Asian Americans and campaign finance into the limelight, highlighting for average Americans what political activists have been claiming for some years, that Asian Americans have become major-league contributors. Indeed, because of the voluminous media attention, we believe that we know something about the behavior of this group despite the lack of scholarly research. There is now a fairly large received wisdom about Asian Americans and campaign fi- nance. For instance, it is now widely believed that Asian Americans are unique political animals because they combine general political apathy with generous campaign giving. Moreover, their contributions are believed to be significant and disproportionately large in relation to the size of their population. Indeed, while Asian Americans have been arriving in droves only since 1965, some now claim that Asian Americans have, in this short time span, become disproportion- 37 38 Wendy K.
