The report has some interesting information:

"The new survey – which polled 2,000 voters in the 12 days following the election – finds that, by a wide
margin, voters were more likely to say that November’s election made them feel better about California
politics (30% to 14%), although for 54 percent it made no difference. That is a long and large difference
from PPIC’s 2005 post-election survey when 38 percent of voters said the special election made them
feel worse and only 21 percent said that it made them feel better about state politics."

This is the way it's supposed to be; let the states be the laboratories. No matter how flaky California is I still believe that the proper way to read the constitution is that any powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people. Prop 13 is perhaps the greatest and most important initiative ever passed.

* Immigration is rated the top issue (20 percent of voters)

I congratulated the handful of believers who have spoken their minds on the insidious effects of unregulated immigration.

5 years ago they were a voice in the wilderness. Today 20% of Californians have listened and a quick review of other concerns voiced on this survey are directly rooted in the consequences of illegal immigration over the past 30 years.

There is more work to do. Californians need to be educated that that the perceived problems with jobs, schools, health care, crime, housing, energy, population and traffic are all directly tied to illegal immigration. Take away the consequences of illegal immigration, today about 40% of the state's population, and most of the problems go away almost instantly.

Illegal immigration is the 400 lb. gorilla that consumes a majority of the state's energies and resources, the blunt weapon that our political class is wielding with indifference to the state's future.
