SAN FRANCISCO – (INT) – With just days remaining before the March 3rd Primary, California voters are giving Bernie Sanders a vote of confidence as the most likely candidate to face Donald Trump in November.

A poll by the Public Policy Institute of California finds Sanders at 32 percent trailed by Biden (14%), Warren (13%), Bloomberg (12%), and Buttigieg (12%).

In some other findings:

• A slight majority of likely voters (51%) support a March ballot measure for a $15 billion bond to construct and modernize public education facilities.
• Most Californians (63%) say housing affordability is a big problem in their area, and 70 percent approve of Governor Newsom’s plan to spend $1 billion to address homelessness.
• Californians give mixed reviews to Governor Newsom’s plan to scale back high-speed rail but support plans to scale back the Delta water tunnel project.
