Support for Fabian's Prop. 93 Plummets -- Certain failure ahead...

In my career as a political professional, I have had an opportunity to work as the campaign coordinator for a successful statewide ballot measure (Prop. 227, in 1998, to end bilingual education in support of English immersion). But it doesn't even take someone with a lot of experience to make an early call on the fate of Proposition 93 a.k.a. "The Big Lie" a.k.a. the "Fabian Nunez Career Politician Term Limits Weakening Initiative."

This measure is going to be soundly defeated by California voters, preserving our state's strong legislative term limits, and upholding the idea that the state legislature is supposed to be a place where citizens give of their time for a few years, and then return home to live under the laws they create. Californian's will re-affirm their decision that they simply do not was a class of career politicians under the Capitol dome.

The statewide Field poll has announced their latest numbers on Fabian's ploy measure, Prop. 93 -- showing the measure has steeply dropped in support (as we predicted here on the FR -- that once voters understood that politicians "conveniently" slipped in a clause to allow them to all serve more time in office).

Conventional wisdom is that a ballot measure needs to go into election day with over 50% support. The Field Poll puts the measure at 39% in favor, 39% against, with 22% undecided.

I am sure that Fabian and company are not in a hurry to have you look back to the last Field Poll, just a month ago, that had the measure at 50% support, 32% oppose. As voters become more educated on this measure, they are lining up against it.

Of course, to make matters worse for Nunez, the No on 93 campaign effort, headed up by Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, which has had a modest tv campaign taking place for couple of weeks has made a major media commitment through the election, ensuring that an informed electorate will likely bring 93's numebers down even more!

On a closing note, I guess it looks like "Team Fabian" was fudging the numbers as they were spreading around a "58% Support" number. Now they can wear that egg on their faces through February 5.
