Prop. 23 Poll Shows a Dead Heat Among California Voters. By Margot Roosevelt, LATimes, September 24, 2010. "California voters believe global warming is a significant issue and are inclined to trust scientific views on the subject, but they remain closely divided on a November ballot measure that would suspend the state's global warming statute, according to a new poll… The findings of the Los Angeles Times/USC poll are similar to a July poll by the Public Policy Institute of California, a non-partisan think tank. Two-thirds of Californians in the PPIC survey said they favored the existing greenhouse gas law, but likely voters were evenly split on whether the state should 'take action right away' or 'wait until the state economic and job situation improve to take action.'"
