A new PPIC poll comes out tomorrow. There's a summary of the poll at the LA Times:
A new poll to be released Friday by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California is expected to show that Schwarzenegger's ballot propositions have made no appreciable gains in recent weeks, despite heavy TV advertising by the governor.
None is drawing support from a majority of likely voters.
Well, here here to that! That is great news. PPIC is generally far more reliable than S-USA, and apparently, Stanford. But here's some specific good news.
Prop 75
And the fate of one measure, the anti-union Proposition 75, now seems a tossup after having been favored by a 25-point margin only two months ago.
The importance of defeating Prop 75 can not be underestimated. It's a vile wretch of a proposition that would require massive new efforts from labor organizers, essentially silencing most unions. And in return, what do we get for that? Well, "paycheck protection" of course. Not that employees already have the option of opting-out or anything. It essentially takes the voice away from workers while allowing the corporations to go on singing. Now, on Monday, Ahnold announced that he intended to support a bill which required express permission of stockholders for corporations to give money to political causes. I'll believe that when I see it.
It's coming down to the wire now. I'll follow up with the PPIC poll tomorrow. |
