Help: CA Bond Issue polls
Anyone seen any scientific polling on the bond issue?

I've been browsing the CA papers and haven't spotted any, but I could easily just be missing it.

1. I haven't either
but associates indicate to me that so far the no's on the proposition are winning.

It is a con job by Arnold. It is really another tax. He played a game with the auto-registration, where he refunded 5-6 billion.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

2. Thanks. The very fact that there appear to be no polls ...
... makes for an INTRIGUING INFERENCE about the California elites on both sides of the aisle.

4. Saw a poll last night
I can't remember the numbers, but the bond measures were losing by a modest margin. Lots of undecideds.

5. Speak of the Devil!!!
Laugh. I've been surfing the web all week. This came out last night, probably the poll you saw mentioned:

Also, things are back to normal on Presidential preference, Dem nominee slaughtering Bush, and Kerry beating Edwards by a wide margin.

7. it's more important to find out which corporations are funding
these initiatives and to make your mind up based on that information rather than engineered poll numbers. Educate yourself!

8. I read something this morning.
I've already disposed of the paper, so I can't quote. It was an article about how the support for Prop 57 wasn't going Arnold's way. Apparently, his strongest support so far is from democrats, and it is not enough, so he is appealing to the republicans to come out in support. And a mention that prop 57 and 58 both have to pass for either to take effect.

They mentioned poll numbers, but I don't remember them, sorry!

At this point, I am undecided but leaning no for 57 and 58.

9. Yeah. Fox News had a quick blurb.
I'm not in CA, but I'd be inclined to vote NO, too.

The citizenry had every right to fall for Arnold's lies, but justice and right reason demands that they pay for it, and that Arnold be exposed.
