About 38 percent of California Republicans support billionaire Donald Trump's bid for the U.S. presidency, but more than half say they are not satisfied with their choices of candidates, a new opinion poll shows.
The poll released by the Public Policy Institute of California on Wednesday also shows that among Democrats who are likely primary voters, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont with 48 percent support compared with Sanders' 41 percent.
The survey also showed that California Democrats are much more likely to be satisfied with their presidential choices than Republicans. Among Democratic voters surveyed, 65 percent said they were satisfied with their choices of candidates, while just 46 percent of Republicans say they were satisfied with the field. Among independents, who make up nearly a quarter of registered voters in the most populous U.S. state, satisfaction with primary choices is even lower, at 34 percent.
...The PPIC poll showed an increase in support for Trump when compared with a poll by the Field Research Corporation in January. In that survey, Trump and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas were in a statistical tie at roughly 25 percent each.

Dang straight. And I think Trump is going to pull a massive amount of crossover.
Folks in California are not happy campers.
I hate these stupid articles. Nowhere does it give the numbers for the other candidates. Less verbage and more info please!
This is a must see: Ted Cruz Just Quoted ‘The American President’ to Get Back at Donald Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9n5VibgNOQ
CNN pointed out tonight that Cruz quoted Michael Douglas from the movie “The American President” when he challenged Trump by saying to the CNN host: “If Donald wants to get in a charachter fight, he’s better off stickin’ with me, because Heidi is way out of you’re... his league.”
The problem is, he was SO in-character when he recited the quote, that he stuttered and said “you’re” — as if he was talking to Trump — and had to correct himself and say “he’s”, because he wasn’t talking to Trump, he was talking to the CNN host.
Here’s just the CNN interview:

The Presidential Preference Primary in California is closed.
Ted=BIG FRAUD!
Well, I’m from CA and I’m voting for Trump.
And frankly, Heidi is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay BELOW Trump's league!
From a competently written article...
“The survey showed that 38% of California Republicans likely to vote in the June primary support Trump, compared with 19% who support Cruz and 12% who support Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Rubio, who dropped out of the race while the poll was being conducted, also had 12% support.”

thanks, Hugin!
In reality, both Bernie and Hillary are Communists. The only difference is Hillary is a woman and her supporters favor the first woman Communist as President.
The only “unhappy folks” in our state are the few remaining conservatives left here. The Democrat majority is just happy. Governor Moonbeam has record high approval numbers, Gavin Newsome is emancely popular and poised to be elected governor in 2018. Illegals are enjoying the safety of a sanctuary state and the wealthy white liberals enjoy the cheap housekeepers and gardeners. The Republican party is nonnexistant here and thats the way most Californians like it.
It's California. Crossover doesn't necessarily mean party crossover.
And about to become more exciting

I understand the different primary rules that prevail in California -- all candidates for state office are listed on one ballot, regardless of party.
But the presidential primary runs (has to run) on different rules and is expressly listed as "closed".
If I'm in error about that, I apologize in advance.
California has same-day voter registration.
Independents and groups who have for years been disgusted with political choices are showing up massively for Donald Trump who represents the first choice in a generation for them.
Like Reagan before him, Trump has greatly increased turnout and drawn from groups who don’t regularly vote.
California is very unstable:

California will detonate.
Crossover in California? Might be tricky as this is a close primary.
