Well, well, well.

Looks like Californians are going to go "GREEN" this upcoming November election.

The wildly controversial "Marijuana Law" is starting to gain huge popularity with those California voters who plan on casting a ballot in this Fall campaign.  The California Field Poll has some new numbers and political junkies are going over all the digits.


With about six weeks remaining until the November 2 statewide election, more likely voters in California now say they are inclined to vote Yes than No (49% to 42%) on Proposition 19, the initiative to legalize marijuana and tax its production, distribution, and sale.


An earlier July Field Poll found the initiative trailing by four points.
So, where are the wild "pot fans" here in California?  First is the San Francisco Bay Area (59% of voters are supporting the prop) followed by Los Angeles County (58%) .

The biggest opposition comes from the Central Valley.  Voters in the "hot bed" of California are now opposed nearly two to one.

In addition, of the 71% of the electorate who reside in coastal counties, Prop. 19 is favored 54% to 38%. By contrast, inland county (Riverside, San Bernardino, Tahoe, Imperial Valley) voters take an opposite view and are on the No side 52% to 37%.

GREENHOUSE LAW IS FULL OF GAS WITH VOTERS?
Voters continue to oppose Proposition 23, the initiative to suspend AB32, the state’s greenhouse gas reduction law until the state's unemployment rate drops below 5.5%. Opponents currently outnumber supporters by eleven points 45% to 34%, similar to twelve-point deficit in July.  Do your homework on this one voters.  Get educated.

PASS THE BUDGET BY A MAJORITY...not a SUPER MAJORITY LEADS
By a 46% to 30% margin, likely voters remain supportive of Proposition 25, the initiative to allow the state legislature to pass budgets with a simple majority vote. However, this sixteen-point Yes-side advantage is down significantly from a 45-point lead in July (65% to 20%). The proportion of undecided voters is also greater now than previously.  Gridlock in Sacramento might become a thing of the past if this one passes.
So, how are you going to vote? Hit my comment section.  Let the VOTING BEGIN!!!!
