The new poll stunned Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said, 'Prop 36 is a real setback' for California.
A new poll from a San Francisco-based think tank showed overwhelming voter support for Prop 36, a tough-on-crime measure. An exasperated Gov. Gavin Newsom called the bill a 'real setback' for California. 'I know people are frustrated,' Newsom said. ' is about bringing us back to a 1980's mindset where it's possession of drugs and you end up in state prison. The impact it's going to have on the Black and brown community is next level.
The measure would implement harsher penalties for stealing, overturning the reforms from 2014's Prop 47 which softened punishment for shoplifting and drug dealing.'Our coalition just continues to explode,' Greg Totten, CEO of California's District Attorney's Association, said. Totten is the co-chair of the 'Yes of Prop 36' campaign.
