PPIC STATEWIDE SURVEY OCTOBER 2020 Californians and Their GovernmentOctober 2020 Full Crosstabs – Likely Voters Only Methodology Note: Findings are based on a survey of 1,701 California adult residents, with 75 percent interviewed on cell phones (1,226 interviews) and 25 percent interviewed on landline telephones (475 interviews). Live landline and cell phone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish according to the respondents’ preferences. The sample included 453 respondents reached by calling back respondents who had previously completed an interview in PPIC Statewide Surveys in the last six months. Interviews took an average of 19 minutes to complete. Interviewing took place on weekend days and weekday nights October 9-18, 2020. These crosstabs are based on a subgroup of 1,185 California adult likely voters. The sampling error, taking design effects from weighting into consideration, is ±4.3 percent at the 95 percent confidence level for the unweighted sample of 1,185 likely voters. The sampling error for unweighted likely voter subgroups is larger. Sampling error is only one type of error to which surveys are subject. Results may also be affected by factors such as question wording, question order, and survey timing.

Californians and Their GovernmentOctober 2020
Full Crosstabs – Likely Voters Only
Methodology Note:
Findings are based on a survey of 1,701 California adult residents, with 75 percent interviewed on cell phones (1,226 interviews) and 25 percent interviewed on landline telephones (475 interviews). Live landline and cell phone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish according to the respondents’ preferences. The sample included 453 respondents reached by calling back respondents who had previously completed an interview in PPIC Statewide Surveys in the last six months. Interviews took an average of 19 minutes to complete. Interviewing took place on weekend days and weekday nights October 9-18, 2020.
These crosstabs are based on a subgroup of 1,185 California adult likely voters. The sampling error, taking design effects from weighting into consideration, is ±4.3 percent at the 95 percent confidence level for the unweighted sample of 1,185 likely voters. The sampling error for unweighted likely voter subgroups is larger. Sampling error is only one type of error to which surveys are subject. Results may also be affected by factors such as question wording, question order, and survey timing.
