The latest Rasmussen poll just released this morning has some good news regarding the dirty GOP ballot initiative.
A proposal has been made in California that would award one Electoral Vote to the winner of each Congressional District along with two Electoral Votes for the statewide winner. In a theoretical sense, 47% of California voters think that’s a good idea. Thirty-one percent (31%) disagree while 23% are not sure. However, even that tepid level of support dissipates when voters learn that a change in California could significantly increase the number of Republican Electoral Votes. Once that is factored into the equation, support drops to 38% and opposition increases to 41%.
Excellent. This is the first poll I’ve seen where opposition is MORE than support when people are informed of the consequences. But again, no resting on our laurels. Keep up the fight to educate as many Californians as possible!
Some other numbers from the poll, Arnold’s numbers stand at 46% approve, 53% disapprove. Meanwhile, Bush is at 28% approve, 69% disapprove, including a whopping 50% of Californians who rate his job performance as “poor”.
And I’ll go ahead and disagree with the 65% of Californians who think term limits for state legislators are a good idea.
