Poll: All Proposals But Emergency Manager Measure Appear Headed For Defeat

The controversial emergency manager law has the best chance out of six statewide ballot proposals of surviving a voter referendum, a new Detroit News/WDIV Local 4 poll indicates.

The Detroit News reports Proposal 1 had the strongest support among likely voters with 45 percent saying the law should not be repealed and 39.5 percent planning to vote for a repeal of the 2011 law giving state-appointed emergency managers broad powers to rewrite labor contracts in financially-troubled cities and school districts.

But with voters facing the most statewide ballot questions in a generation, a wave of "no" voters appear ready to defeat Proposals 2-6, Glengariff Group Inc. pollster Richard Czuba said.

"I think they are all going down," he said.
