Voters in California are far from the state’s democratic elite, with concerns about “resistance” to the Trump administration, according to a Politico and UC Berkeley Citrin Center poll released Tuesday.

Opinion survey Sampled registered voters and “policy influencers” across the Golden State, and found that the two groups had a sharp difference in issues such as immigration, vehicle emissions, artificial intelligence and White House pushbacks. Democrats are determined to fight President Donald Trump through policy, but voters feel discouraged by their leadership and what they call politics, what they call “Trump Resistance Fatigue.” (Related: Californians are not seriously accepted about the hypothetical governor bid for Kamala Harris.)

Jack Citlin, a professor of political science in Berkeley, California, co-director of the poll, said the results show how much the voters in California have changed.

“Influencers are a much more homogenous group than registered voters.” I said Politics. “The main difference is that voters have become polarized.”

Of the Democratic voters surveyed, 47% are hoping for stronger opposition to Trump. Meanwhile, Republicans and independents make up the majority of 43% of voters whose leaders feel “too confrontational.”

Nearly half of the policy influencers surveyed said that California leaders were too passive, but 43% of registered voters said they said they had few. Confidence The state leaders were able to tackle pressing issues.

Voters are also not invested in the priorities of state democratic leaders.

New polls show what we already know. Californians go beyond the theatre of the sky. The streets are not safe. The cost of living is out of control. And California Democrats? It’s still focused on President Trump. I’m looking forward to 2026…https://t.co/xmmjfrvgrw

45% of voters encouraged California vehicle emissions waiver. Zero Emission By 2035 – as a way to oppose Trump and his agenda, however 40% did not support emissions policy. In contrast, policy influencers supported California emissions policies from 82% to 14%.

Artificial intelligence (AI) remains a problem that largely integrates California voters. Half of the voters surveyed believe that AI is harm 58% of traditional work and policy influencers agreed. According to Politico, 34% of voters and around 25% of policy influencers determined that AI is likely to “drove” workers.

Citrine I said The publication, which states that people working in policy are more likely to have more education and more job security on AI compared to the general public, added that “I don’t think influencers will lose their jobs because of AI.”

California housing spikes and the growth costs of homelessness too Centerpiece of voter concern. Research participants overwhelmingly marked both issues as priorities from the list, including infrastructure, education, budget, immigration, and public safety.

The polls used Verasight to attract 1,025 California registered voters and also looked at 718 policy influencers. The modeled error estimates for voter surveys, which were conducted on the Truedot.AI platform from April 1 to 14th, are positive or minus 5 percentage points.
