Local School Bonds Have Majority Support

/in /by

The generic test for local school bonds shows majority support among likely California voters.

“We conducted this poll in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and voters are still expressing support for funding local schools through school bonds,” explained Adam Probolsky, pollster and president of Probolsky Research. “We did not put a dollar amount in the question which could change the results, favorably or negatively, but voters are clearly open to school bonds, even in the face of the pandemic.”

  • The biggest opposition comes from older, Republican, and white voters.
  • The biggest support comes from younger, Democratic, and non-white voters.
  • Parts of the state, like Southern California (outside of Los Angeles), will find passing local school bonds more challenging, while voters in Los Angeles and Bay Area school districts are more likely to support funding for local schools.
