PPIC poll finds Pop. 50 on track to pass 

A new poll shows that California voters will likely pass Proposition 50 in next week’s special election.

The latest survey from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) found a majority of voters polled support the plan to draw partisan Congressional districts in favor of Democrats.

What we’re watching: Voters will head to the polls on Nov. 4 to cast their ballots on Prop. 50, which was backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats in the Legislature. • If Prop. 50 is approved, five Congressional districts currently held by Republicans would see their voter registration makeup shift to the left, while many districts held by Democrats would become safer seats. • Redistricting would not go back to the hands of the independent commission that draws the lines until after the 2030 cen
