New CA-40 Poll: An Overwhelming 87% of Likely Primary Voters Support Term Limits on Congress
Washington, DC – According to a new poll conducted by RMG Research, an overwhelming 87% of likely primary voters in California’s 40th congressional district approve of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that will place term limits on U.S. Senators and U.S. House Representatives.
The poll, which was conducted from November 14-19, also finds that incumbent Rep. Young Kim currently leads the field with 28% of the vote. 50% of primary voters indicated they were undecided. However, when voters were asked who they would support if they knew Kim broke her term limits pledge and Joe Kerr backs congressional term limits, Kim falls to just 15% while Kerr leaps to 32% since voters are more likely to select the term limits candidate.
When asked how many terms members of the U.S. House should serve, 65% indicate they favor term limits of six years or less.
The survey of 300 likely primary voters in California’s 40th congressional district was conducted online by RMG Research, Inc. in November 2023 using a representative sample to reflect the district’s population of registered likely primary election voters. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 5.7 percentage points. RMG Research is owned and operated by Scott Rasmussen.
