In early September, 2003, California's Governor Gray Davis approved a controversial law allowing people who were not legal residents to obtain a California state driver's license. That week the California Field Poll released a survey showing that 59% of registered voters opposed the law and 34% supported it. This part of the survey was based on a random sample of just over 300 people, conducted over the phone.
The same week that the Field Poll was released a Web site called SFGate.com† asked visitors to "Click to vote" on their preferred response to "Agree with new law allowing drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants?" The choices and the percent who chose them were "Yes, gesture of respect, makes roads safe" 19%, "No, thwarts immigration law, poses security risk" 79%, and "Oh, great, another messy ballot battle" 2%. The total number of votes shown was 2,900.
