Colorado Prop 112 Update - Oct 23

Post by dan_s »

The Denver Post has reported new poll results for Colorado.

The poll was an online survey of 800 registered voters conducted between Oct. 12 and 17, that included questions asking voters’ view of Proposition 112 and Proposition 74. The poll was commissioned by the University of Colorado and conducted by YouGov.

The survey results reported by the Post include:
◾52% of voters surveyed said they support Proposition 112, which requires a minimum 2,500 foot oil and gas setback.
◾63% of voters said they would vote yes on Amendment 74, which would require state and local governments to compensate property owners when regulations reduce their property value.
◾Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis has a 12-point lead over Republican Walker Stapleton, 54% to 42%.

Polis recently stated in a televised debate that he is not in favor of signing into law any new bill that rolls back changes put forward by citizens who voted in Proposition 112, should the state legislature bring forward a bill intended to delay or reverse it.

“I don’t think anything is in the bag,” Anand Sokhey, one of the poll’s authors and a CU associate professor of political science, told the Post. “There’s still time for those numbers to move around, especially with independent voters,” the report said.
