Poll: Voters don't support ballot measuresWell, they marginally support one out of three of
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's pet ballot initiatives slated for the 2005
special election, but that's hardly a passing grade.
Schwarzenegger Losing Grip On California
Voters
(KTVU) A measure aimed at changing teacher tenure is the only one of three ballot initiatives backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that is supported by a majority of California voters, according to a new statewide poll. Granted, these numbers are early, and for the losers they're quite soft (the margins are smaller than the "undecided" category). I'm impressed (not favorably) by the margin of support for the teacher tenure measure, but I suspect that in the end the tenure initiative will do more to cement opposition from educators (and, by extension, those who ally themselves and sympathize with educators). It's the Democrats' job to stay on-message and make sure that the "undecideds" break against the Governor's initiatives. So far I don't see a lot of coherent effort in this direction, but I'll keep you posted if I do. The full text of the Field Poll is here (PDF).
