Hoover poll shows Trump facing historic defeat in California; pot legalization leading, death penalty repeal struggling

A new poll of California voters by the Hoover Institution and the Bill Lane Center shows Hillary Clinton with a more than 20 percent lead over Donald Trump.

 

With the presidential election only a week away, a new Hoover Institution survey shows Hillary Clinton with a commanding lead over Donald Trump in California.

 

Hoover Institution’s Golden State poll, administered by the survey research firm YouGov and designed in conjunction with Stanford University’s Bill Lane Center for the American West, gives Clinton a 54 to 30 percent lead.

 

“The question with Donald Trump isn’t whether he loses in California, it’s how low does he go,” said Hoover Institution research fellow Bill Whalen. “If he finishes below 35 percent that puts Republicans down the ticket in competitive congressional races in serious jeopardy.”
