African-American voters are dissatisfied with the performance of California’s government and give the state a failing grade, according to a Field Poll released earlier this month.
Only about 29 percent of African-American voters felt that California’s government responded to their needs, while 18 percent agreed that fundamental changes to the state’s constitution needed to be made. Seventy-nine percent believed that major issues could be tackled if there was true bipartisanship.
