California voters overwhelmingly believe the state is headed in the wrong direction and cite housing as their most pressing issue, according to a new statewide poll released by the University of California, Irvine’s School of Social Ecology.

Conducted May through June and based on a representative sample of more than 4,600 adults, the UCI‑OC Poll reveals that a two-to-one majority of Californians feel the state is off course, including 79% of Republicans, about 64% of independents and a divided Democratic electorate.

Housing topped the list of public concerns: 70% prioritized addressing California’s housing crisis, and 33% ranked it as their single greatest concern, nearly double the number who selected health care.

The survey also found President Donald Trump facing a ratings challenge, with roughly 63% of Californians expressing disapproval compared to 33% approval. His approval rating reflects a sharp and continuing partisan divide.
