A majority of Californians are in favor of a smaller federal government, but do not support taxpayer-funded health care coverage for illegal immigrants, or new tariffs on goods imported from Canada, Mexico, and China, according to a new study released June 11 by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC).
The survey, based on 1,591 adult residents and conducted May 22–29, revealed that 57 percent of state residents either strongly support (27 percent) or somewhat support (30 percent) downsizing the federal government.
