Where support for Michigan ballot proposals stands before Nov. 8 election

OP's comment: It's a paywalled article, but the important info is in these graphs


(Detroit Free Press) A majority of Michigan voters back the three statewide proposals to modify term limits for state lawmakers, establish early voting in the state and protect the right to seek abortions on the Nov. 8 ballot, according to a recent Free Press poll.

Of the three constitutional amendments before voters in Michigan in the midterm election, the voting rights Proposal 2 − which appears on the ballot as Proposal 22-2 − has garnered the most significant support among voters, the poll conducted by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA shows.

The survey indicates a 39-point lead for proponents of the amendment: Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed support Proposal 2 compared to just 29% who oppose it.

Proposal 1 to modify term limits − which appears on the ballot as Proposal 22-1 − also has strong support. Sixty-six percent of voters surveyed support the measure compared to 29% who oppose it, a 37-point difference. Proposal 1 would allow state legislators to serve a maximum of 12 years in Lansing compared to 14 years today. But it would allow lawmakers to spend all 12 years in one chamber. It would also require state lawmakers and those holding top statewide offices to disclose information about their finances that could reveal potential conflicts of interest.

Supporters of Proposal 3 to enshrine abortion rights in the Michigan Constitution − which appears on the ballot as Proposal 22-3 − enjoy a 17-point margin of support, according to the poll. Fifty-seven percent of voters surveyed support the measure while 40% oppose it. ..............(more)
