The BEE is reporting this morning: A high-profile initiative to repeal the recentA increase to gasoline and diesel taxesA continues to lag with likely California voters. Just 41 percent plan to vote for Proposition 6, according to a new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California, while 48 percent are opposed. That result is similar to aA PPIC survey last month, when the measure trailed 39 percent to 52 percent among likely voters. The small bump in support for Proposition 6, which would reverse the tax increase by requiring voter approval to raise fuel and vehicle license fees, indicates that the yes campaign has a a big hill to climb,a said Mark Baldassare, president and CEO of PPIC. There are less than two weeks left until the election, and mail voters are alreadyA starting to return their ballots.
