Polling & Urgency (or lack thereof...)

This from the Daily Bulletin (http://www.dailybulletin.com/news/ci_10884168) – “Not all feel urgency this election.

“Despite the months of campaigning, debates and news coverage, not everyone has chosen sides in Tuesday's election.

National polls say the percentage of voters who are undecided is in the single digits, but on Sunday, at least one local voter was still considering who would make the better president. Two other people had no plans to vote at all”

This is what I’ve been talking about and warning against. As the race solidifies and a winner is expected even before the fact, it becomes tempting to not vote for whatever reason.

But tomorrow we are facing bigger issues than who sits in an oval-shaped office for four years. We are deciding how our society will be defined from this point forward.

This from the Sacramento Bee (http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/capitolalertlatest/016612.html) - “Survey says: Poll numbers for Props. 1A, 3, 4, 10 and 12”:

“The lead for Proposition 4, the abortion notification measure, has shrunk since September from a 49 percent to 41 percent lead to a 45 percent to 43 percent margin.

The measure is on the ballot for the third time in four years, and Field reports both previous tries "started out with early leads in the polls only to be narrowly defeated by voters on Election Day. The current survey indicates that this year's outcome could also be close."

The diminished support coincides with the No on 4 campaign outspending proponents on TV ads. HealthVote.org reported Friday that No on 4 has spent "43 times more than proponents on TV ads" -- $7,163 to $313,415."

Props 4 and 8 will be decided by who actually turns out to vote tomorrow.

These issues must be what drives you to the polls.

Pray – Vote – Pray.
