Poll Watch: California Proposition 37 in Free Fall
The more voters learn about the flawed California Proposition 37, the food labeling scheme, the more they seem to turn against its passage.
Look at the latest poll from the California Business Roundtable and Pepperdine University: YES: 48.3 NO: 40.2.
But, look at the graph of their polling results:
I would suspect that all of the advertsing, plus the fact that every major California newspaper has come out against the poorly constructed initiative has had something to do with the precipitous change in the polls.
What a few months ago looked like an initiative with a sure bet to pass, now California Proposition 37 looks like a loser come November.

Poorly constructed? Have you read it?

Yes. Have you?
Tough Choice
The NoOn Prop37 group has invested $36M to defeat this issue, using
the tag line “Stop deceptive labeling.” What IS deceptive is the
labeling of a product with the phrase “All Natural” when some of its
ingredients are in fact GMO. GMOs have been altered to include the Bt
toxin which kills a bug, when it eats the crop, by blowing out its
stomach. YOU eat Bt toxin when you eat ingredients in processed food
derived from these crops. That phrase would no longer be permitted in
the labeling if the product contains GMO ingredients. Animal studies
have shown kidney & liver diseases, tumors, and premature death.
The
statements that CA farmers will be hurt by this, are a deception due to
the fact that the primary GMO crops impacted are the monoculture
products, corn, soy, cotton, and canola, which are largely grown in the
Midwest.
Lastly, consider who is funding the $1 Million a day
campaign to confuse consumers about this issue. It would be the “special
interests” of Monsanto (maker of Roundup and Round up Ready GMO seeds),
Dupont, Syngenta, Pioneer , Dow, et all. If their products were
completely safe and no different, why try so hard to convince people
that labeling GMO is “deceptive”? If there is no difference, then “Just
Label It.”
See “Genetic Roulette – The Gamble of our Lives,” free on YouTube, and you will understand why you need to vote YES on Prop 37.
