Californians haven't had a chance to officially weigh in on the presidential race, but they're definitely watching.
And they don't seem thrilled with what they see in Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
A poll conducted by Republican strategists this week shows Trump is viewed unfavorably by 65.5% of those surveyed. The numbers get even worse when it comes to some of the most important parts of the Golden State's electorate from middle-of-the-road voters to women and beyond.

This is particularly true in Californicator land where we have had decades of new math and a few years of Core math.
No one wins with new math or core math. Coming in second or third or worse is considered winning.
Damn what a loser, his lead is only 6! /s
A poll conducted by Republican strategists = Cheap Labor Whores.
Okay. Are you quite done?
You don’t have to agree. You don’t even have to listen. Quit reading right here for all I care.
California still votes against such things as homosexual marriage.
How does that happen? You just told me Democrats nearly outnumber Republicans by 2 to 1.
The ugly (for you) truth is, that Californians when approached on issues with reasoned arguments, they do come up with reasoned conclusions.
You talk about the last time Republicans won in California. What you didn’t talk about was the last time that a Republican presidential candidate seriously competed for California.
Donald Trump will win California. He will come to the state, hold massive rallies, and people will go wild to support him.
When we have elections out here, we do lose by 6 to 12%. And when we do this, it’s almost always because we did not have a top level voice on our side. This year we do.
When you lose like that, all you need to do is move the voting 3 to 6% plus 1 vote to win.
Trump can do that.
When Trump comes to the state and talks up Conservative values on our soil, those values suddenly have more emphasis, more meaning, more clout.
So when Trump comes here and wins the state based on Conservative principles, what happens next? That’s right sparky, local politicians start running on those (now acceptable and in favor) principles.
A guy like Trump can change everything. And change everything he will this year.
He won’t just do it in California, but he’ll do it in almost all of the highest Electoral Vote states.
Romney left 180 Electoral Votes on the table in 2012. He spotted Obama just 91 Electoral Votes short of a win. Trump won’t spot the Democrat 10 Electoral Votes.
This is what a movement looks like. Enjoy.
This nation is going to swing way to the right this year.
Thank you Donald Trump.
LOL, with the usual Cruz surge in actual voting, he’d wallop Trump in a 4-man race.
By the time we get there, it’ll be a 2-man race, and Donald will lose 2 to 1 to Cruz. Cruz will wallop him in almost all of the states in a 2 man race.
You Trumpeters are SERIOUSLY going to try and pretend that a 25% plurality in an election is a “win?” Democracy would be repealed quickly if people started winning with amounts like that.
Poll after poll after poll after poll show Trump gets annihilated in a race against ANYBODY...Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Hillary, Bernie. It’s way past time for you Trumpsters to wake up and realize this guy is unelectable in a typical election without vote-splitting among the candidates most of the voters actually like.
Trump will not be the nominee. It’s time to start slowly deflating your hopes before you feel the big bust.
LOL, it’s better that we let them forget we’re a majority or they might think to nominate a more electable candidate.
Using your same argument, your candidate fares even worse.
“Are stats calculated differently in California?”
Our newspapers are just like every other state, which is to say they are owned by Communists, so our stats are just like yours. And even when they show Trump ahead, somehow that translates to Trump being behind! Cruz is down by 6 but magically, he’s ahead!
Wrong. My argument has polls showing Trump is wiped out in all 2 man races. You don’t have anything to say otherwise.
You are DemenTED. 2 to 1, that’s hilarious.
It’s quite effective - so many quickly read the headlines and that’s what sticks.
I would support either Trump or Cruz as nominee. But for you to take the position that Trump is losing because he does not have the majority of the vote when your candidate has even a less percentage of the vote makes you look a bit silly.
“This is a die hard, one-party, communists strangle hold state. Republicans need not apply.”
As a California resident since 1961, I am a Trump supporter and I’ll tell you why. I don’t understand why so many people argue that Trump will destroy the Constitution if given the chance, but I’m not nearly as worried about what he might do in that regard as I am with what will happen to the Constitution under a permanent democrat majority, which is where we’re headed if we don’t return the illegal aliens to where they belong. We must stop the influx of hispanics and muslims, both of which can be counted on to be solid lifetime democrat voters of the future.
Just in case anyone was still wondering why California is such a mess, the article from the Sacramento Bee that I’m excerpting below my comments ought to clear things up for you.
Dont believe the GOPe and CoC lie that hispanics are amenable to voting Republican in large numbers. They are NOT! California is completely owned and operated by the democrats and their Leftist supporters.
It is highly unlikely that any Republican will be elected to a statewide office anywhere in the near future, including the Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Babs Boxer. That Senate seat is almost guaranteed to be won by the Leftist anti-second amendment Attorney General Kamala Harris, an associate of _resident 0b0la.
Let these numbers sink in for a minute. White people are now in the minority in the largest state in the Union and it took less than 45 years to accomplish it. I’m not a racist by any means, but it’s time to face the fact that there is already an undeclared war on white people and democrats are importing a permanent voting bloc just as fast as they can.
If the tide isn’t turned back now, it never will. Ask yourself, how will Republicans fare in elections once white people are in the minority in America?
Can we really trust Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio to defy their “sponsors”, to build the wall and kick the illegals out? I don’t think so.
Here is the article from the Sacramento Bee.
Census: Hispanics overtake whites to become Californias largest ethnic group

Census: Hispanics overtake whites to become Californias largest ethnic group
About 15 million Hispanics live in state
California has six times as many Hispanics now as it did in 1970
Births and immigration are driving population increase

Its official: Hispanics are now the largest ethnic group in California.
About 15 million Hispanics lived in California on July 1, 2014, compared to roughly 14.9 million non-Hispanic whites, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released late last week. The California Department of Finance predicted in 2013 that Hispanics would outnumber whites in 2014; the census figures confirm that prediction.
The new data represents a historic shift over a short period of time. California has six times as many Hispanics today as it did in 1970. The number of non-Hispanic whites in the state has declined since 1970.
California Hispanics today enjoy more influence than ever before. They run tens of thousands of California businesses; they support scores of Spanish-language newspapers, radio and TV stations; they make up a sizable proportion of nearly every county in the state, and they hold political positions ranging from mayor of Long Beach to president pro tem of the state Senate.
Its a milestone for California, said Mark Hugo Lopez, director of Hispanic research at the Pew Research Center. In many respects, Californias large population growth has been driven by Hispanic population growth.

...please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the headline to the article. So if anyone is having a tantrum, it is you, not me.
Does Trump get wiped out here on the FR poll?
Hillary also does not have support of 50% of married women. Why not ask her, Mrs Clinton, a minority of married women do not support you for President? Why?
You doesn't, I take it.
How could you lead a story by saying Californians not hot for Trump even though he’s no.1 in the poll. If they don’t like Trump, then they must really dislike the others who poll lower than him
I really really think Cruz will take California this time.
Hot enough to lead the poll apparently.
