OPPOSITION TO POT MEASURE GAINS NARROW LEAD IN POLL

In Contrast to Earlier Results, Survey Finds That 48% of Likely
Voters Are Against Prop. 19

Californians who intend to vote in November narrowly oppose
Proposition 19, which would make the state the first to legalize
marijuana possession and sales, according to a recent survey.

The Field Poll found that 48% of likely voters oppose the measure and
44% support it, a contrast with two polls taken in May that showed
voters were leaning slightly in favor of the measure.
