The special election on May 19th has six Propositions, Props. 1A-F.  Aside from the obviously popular Prop. 1F to stop giving politicians pay raises when there's a deficit, the other 5 are down at least 9 points. Generally, trailing Propositions don't get passed. The Field poll is a reliable poll, but there were only 422 likely voters.

The poll does indicate that voter confusion is high for many of the Props, but I don't think they're confused about their dislike of deadwood politicians.

Obviously 1F is going to pass, and 1C is going to fail. Do people think that any of the other Propositions will pass? Well, something winning is better than Arnold's previous special election (2005) did.
