Prop. 6 “Gas Tax Repeal” Failing

/in /by

We included Proposition 6 on our latest statewide poll. We conducted this poll and present these results for public interest purposes. We had no client on this measure.

Proposition 6 is on track to fail in November.

Our latest polling shows 48% of voters oppose the measure when presented with the title they will read on their ballots.

Fewer than 60% of Republican voters support the gas tax repeal.

It is important to point out the obvious, that the ballot title does not say, “repeal the gas tax” which is how the opposition is presenting their message. As the voter contact campaign kicks into gear, we expect changes in the numbers.
