SurveyUSA poll: Prop 63, ban on large-capacity magazines, likely to pass

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Proposition 63, which would ban large-capacity magazines and mandate background checks for ammunition purchases, is set to pass, according to the latest SurveyUSA poll.

The poll, conducted between Oct. 28 and Oct. 31, surveyed 900 Californians in a final review of the 2016 election before the Nov. 8 ballots are cast. Of those 900 interviewed, 847 are registered voters.

The survey shows that voters favor the magazine ban and background check proposition 2 to 1. In addition to the possible passage of that prop, Propositions 56 and 64 were also favored to pass.

Proposition 56, which would increase the tax on cigarettes by $2 per pack, would pass 60 percent to 33 percent based on those surveyed. Proposition 64, which would legalize, regulate and tax recreational marijuana, is slated to pass 54 percent to 39 percent, according to the poll.

In terms of the presidential election, Democrat Hillary Clinton has a 29-point lead over Republican Donald Trump among early voters, but only leads by 17 points among voters who have yet to fill out a ballot.

The survey was conducted after FBI Director James Comey announced continuing the investigation into Clinton's emails after new ones came to light during a separate investigation into Anthony Weiner. A laptop Clinton's aide Huma Abedin used belonging to Weiner may contain emails pertinent to Clinton's use of a private email server, according to the agency.

Of those polled, 33 percent had an extremely unfavorable view of Clinton, while 22 percent had an extremely favorable view of her. As for Trump, 52 percent had an extremely unfavorable view versus a 12 percent extremely favorable view.

Those polled also expressed their views on President Barack Obama, with 38 percent having an extremely favorable view and 26 percent saying their view of him was extremely unfavorable.
