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.

There is Trump in the mid 30s. Looks like a good start for Cruz.

You’re not wrong. It was a tongue-in-cheek attempt at California humor. :)

California has same-day voter registration.

Should we anticipate an "Illegals for Trump" movement?

LOL, 38% us “mid-thirties”? There’s only on number higher before you’re in the 40s. As for a “good start”, the last Field poll out had them both tied at about 25%. Oh year, it’s going great for Lyin’ Ted.
