The three ballot proposals for Nov. 6 — legalizing marijuana, changing the way state and federal legislative district lines are drawn, and providing easier access to voting — appear to be on a path to victory, according to a new poll commissioned by the Detroit Free Press and its media partners.
Kathleen Gray of the Freep reports:
The biggest shift in support came on Proposal 2 — the anti-gerrymandering proposal, which went from tenuous support with a 48-32 percent margin in September to a 59-29 percent lead in the latest poll, done by the Lansing-based polling firm EPIC/MRA.
“That’s what happens when you do the advertising that they started doing,” said Bernie Porn, president of EPIC/MRA. “They have managed to simplify their messaging on a very complicated issue.”
