Poll: Slight Majority of Voters in Favor of Brown’s Tax Plan

A recent Public Policy Institute of California poll finds that 54% of likely state voters support a compromise tax hike proposal developed by Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and supporters of the "Millionaires Tax," while 39% oppose the proposed ballot measure. Meanwhile, about 60% of respondents expressed opposition to increasing income tax to support education programs, which attorney Molly Munger proposed in a competing tax hike proposal.
