How Does the Budget Poll?

Capitol Weekly issued their first poll about a number of subjects. 51% of Californians would support a part time legislature. I suspect than number might be going up over the next few weeks. A surprising 60.6% (wonder why it is so low) think California is "on the wrong track." 49% of the voters favor a "top-two" primary - where the top two vote getters go on to the general regardless of party affiliation. That is a modification of the old open primary model but has been suggested as a way around partisan bickering. Interestingly, 60% of the Latinos polled agree with the notion while 51% of the Blacks oppose the idea.

Capitol Weekly was a source for jobs information in the Capitol but was recently redesigned to include some commentary on state issues. It's online edition is pretty good. Their polling is expected to be quarterly.
