Respondents to the marijuana legalization ballot measure were erroneously asked about “Proposition
65,” although the actual ballot measure is Proposition 64. Respondents have been re-contacted so that
they are aware of our error. The authors of the survey are confident this error does not affect the
accuracy of the results.

CNTS22/30 graduallyraise_15wage
In April of 2016, California adopted a law that gradually raises the minimum wage to $15 per hour by
2022. Supporters argue that $15 per hour helps workers by creating a wage that someone can actually
live on, while opponents of the minimum wage increase argue that $15 per hour hurts workers because
employers are likely to raise prices and cut hours. To what extent do you favor or oppose increasing
the minimum wage to $15 per hour?
