Mervin Field remained involved in his work until the end. The latest Field Poll, released in late May, still bore his byline.

Mervin Field, founder of the the Field Poll which has been tracking California politics for decades, died yesterday. He was 94-years-old. His poll has served as the standard of opinion research and analysis.

Mark DiCamillo, Director of the Field Poll, joined the show to talk about his legacy and impact on California politics.
