About this Poll
M4 Strategies conducted an online opinion poll of 830 likely California General Election voters from October 7-10, 2012. Registered voters were identified by self- identification. The margin of error was 3.4%. Participants viewed the "ballot initiative" page and recorded how they are inclined to vote given the current information, including a review of the ballot label and ballot arguments as prepared by the proponents. 782 participants viewed the ballot in English, 49 viewed it in Spanish.

When taking the survey, participants were able, and encouraged, to review all of the qualified ballot initiatives before voting. This instrument design is intended to simulate the context in which voters are able to read and consider all prospective initiatives before voting by mail or at the polls on Election Day.
