Many Still Undecided About State Propositions

A new poll shows strong support of Proposition 25 – the Nov. 2 ballot measure that would make it easier to pass a state budget – but many voters are undecided about another measure to halt California’s landmark global warming law.

The Los Angeles Times/USC poll published Monday says 58 percent of likely voters support Proposition 25, which would change the two-thirds majority needed to pass a budget in the state Legislature to a simple majority.

Only 28 percent oppose it and 13 percent remain undecided.

Proposition 23 would suspend implementation of the state’s Global Warming Solutions Act until state unemployment drops to 5.5 percent and stays there for a year – a very rare occurrence.

The poll found that 48 percent of likely voters oppose the measure, 32 support it and 19 percent are undecided.
