A Gallup poll last year found that 28% of respondents did not have much confidence in the federal government’s ability to ensure the food supply is safe.

That quality-of-life survey, which included residents outside L.A. who cannot participate in its city elections, showed that 49% of respondents had unfavorable views of Bass, up considerably from the prior year.

In one nearly unanimous category, 89% of respondents said that those who lost their properties in the fires should be allowed to rebuild at the same location.

Compare that to just 8% of respondents who said tariffs would improve the economy immediately and 34% who thought they would have a positive effect given time.

“The respondents in our survey, I mean, they weren't rich people — they weren't all sitting around on their yachts replying,” Klongpayabal said.
