Even though polls in California don’t close for several hours, and there has been no exit polling stats released as of yet, those against the Proposition seem to be filled with confidence. This may be mainly due to the fact that pre-election polls in California in the days leading up to today’s election showed that things were beginning to sway against Proposition 19. A poll released by Public Policy Polling over this last weekend showed that only 44% of California voters were for the proposition to legalize marijuana, while 51% said they were against it. That is certainly statistically significant, and is a far cry from some of the polls just last month which were mostly all showing support for the measure.
Without any data from exit polls, and due to the fact that pre-election polls often have skewed results, depending on the voting demographics, Prop 19 is certainly not dead yet, however, things do not necessarily look bright for those in support of it.
