LANSING, MI (WTVB) – Two new polls show that Proposition One seems to be losing support as the election draws near and the opposition isn’t coming just from the usual anti-tax forces. The new EPIC MRA poll on the road funding proposal puts it at 66% against 24% saying they will vote yes, and the rest undecided.
A Google Consumer Poll shows that a lot of the anti-tax sentiment is coming from middle class voters who feel that business should pick up more of the share of the cost. 59% felt that way. In both polls, opposition grew when poll takers actually read the ballot language to respondents. The opposition grows despite the growing number of officials who are endorsing a yes vote.
