California voters are standing firm in their opposition to the budget-related propositions on the May 19 ballot, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
The PPIC's latest poll mirrors previous surveys showing strong resistance to all but Proposition 1F on elected officials' pay raises.
That's even though voters are split on whether the governor and the Legislature should have called the election.
Here are the numbers. The rest told pollsters they haven't made up their minds.
Proposition 1A: 52 percent no, 35 percent yes
Proposition 1B: 47 percent no, 40 percent yes
Proposition 1C: 58 percent no, 32 percent yes
Proposition 1D: 45 percent no, 43 percent yes
Proposition 1E: 48 percent no, 41 percent yes
Proposition 1F: 73 percent yes, 24 percent no
One bright spot in the survey: Even though voters aren't in the mood to trust state government, more than half said things in the country as a whole are going in the right direction.
That's up sharply from January when President Barack Obama took office. Then, only a third of Californians said the country was headed down the right road.
