THERE’S A NEW SURVEY OUT….I am not high on surveys, but then, it turns out, neither is Schwarzenegger Chief Strategist Mike Murphy. On the Join Arnold blog, there is a great post from Murphy talking about the release of a new KABC POLL which shows ALL FOUR of the Governor’s reform measures AHEAD…
Here’s the bottom line:
The poll was taken 9/30 to 10/2. (You can also go to the actuall poll here)
Prop 74. Yes 55%, No 44%.
Prop 75. Yes 60%, No 37%
Prop 76. Yes 58%, No 36%
Prop 77. Yes 59%, No 36%
