CA Prop 54: Backing sags in poll for Prop. 54

With less than a month to go before the Oct. 7 recall election, support is crumbling for a ballot measure that would restrict the state from collecting certain racial data, according to a Field Poll released Wednesday.

Proposition 54 is favored by 40 percent of likely voters, down from 46 percent in an August survey. Forty percent also oppose the initiative by Ward Connerly, while two in 10 voters remain undecided. "It's looking ominous for its chances of passage," said Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo. "When you lose your margin, it's pretty much over," unless some new factor emerges in the campaign.

So, about half of California's residents are unabashed racists.

Well R-null didn't help coming out against it

According to the polling data, yes about 1/2 are ardent racists.. what you wanna bet it's the blue zone -- left left coast. These folks really do need to read the writ of the initiative of Prop 54, instead of blindly going along with whatever their Politician and Local Race-meisters assert.

Hmm... I dunno about that.

But supporters -- and independent analysts -- say the measure is not meant to interfere with any health-related issue

I thought if I made this a little larger, the dems would be able to read it on the left-coast.

It does look so much better in the bolder, larger print. Even better is that what you wrote is true. Thank you!

[Alia]

YES!!! and thank YOU! :)
