New Field Poll is Out: Good News All Around
The Field Poll came out today, and the headline really says it all: “No side leads yes side on all four of the propositions backed by Governor Schwarzenegger”. This is quite good news, but turnout is still going to be key to this election. The polls are quite close. CADem has a great diary on dKos analyzing the data.
The quick jist from the Alliance for a Better California blog:
According to the poll….
Prop 74: 50% of voters oppose the governor’s attempt to punish teachers for his own lack of educational funding, with only 44% supporting the measure.Prop 75: 50% Californian voters oppose Prop 75, with only 40% supporting the measure.
Prop 76: 60 % of voters oppose Prop 76, with only 32% supporting the governor’s budget power grab.
Prop 77: 51% of voters oppose Prop 77, the redistricting measure, with just 35% supporting the initiative.
The numbers look good now, but if we don’t turn out, we lose. Tomorrow, the field poll for the other special election propositions comes out. More on that tomorrow.
