California voters’ deep rift on wealth tax exposed as voter ID heads for troubled waters: New poll
California remains a state divided on two controversial measures to be decided by voters in November. Prop 40, the one-time billionaire tax, got 48% support in the poll compared to 41% who opposed. About 11% are undecided, according to a UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times poll released Friday. “It’s got an early lead, but it’s not a very large lead, and it’s not a majority,” poll director Mark DiCamillo told the Times. “Usually, for ballot propositions, you want the yes side to be above 50%, and that’s not where it is right now.” The proposed tax has split Democrats, with many…
