Poll: Voters Reject Electoral College Power Grab Initiative

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

California voters resoundly would reject the GOP's tricky initiative to steal the state's electoral votes by a 53-22 percent margin, according to a new poll out today.<> <>Even Republicans (46-22%) join Democrats (59-20%) and Independents (51-25%) in rejecting the initiative, which is being financed by operatives close to Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.<> <>"This is one of the lowest levels of support we have ever seen in our polling for a statewide initiative in California," says Ben Tulchin of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. "The fact of the matter is this electoral power grab effort by Republicans has essentially no chance of passing. No initiative that has started this far down has ever won. And with a majority of voters already voting no on this and the fact that most voters who are undecided on an initiative vote no, Republicans are wasting their time, money, and energy trying to get this losing initiative on the ballot.
