Propositions that would legalize recreational marijuana, slap a $2 tax on a pack of cigarettes and outlaw large-capacity magazines of ammunition all figure to become law after next Tuesday.

But another high-profile proposition – one that would abolish the death penalty – is headed for defeat, according to a poll of California voters released Tuesday by Survey USA for Southern California News Group and KABC.

The pot law, Prop 64, a complex bill that would let individuals carry up to an ounce of marijuana and grow six plants for personal use – and create a multi-billion dollar industry in the process – is favored by 54 percent to 39 percent among likely California voters, according to the survey taken between Friday and Monday. That gap is big enough that Survey USA says Prop 64 “appears positioned to become law.”

And that’s the closest of the four propositions highlighted in the survey.

Prop. 56, which boosts cigarette taxes, is favored 60 percent to 33 percent. And Prop. 63, which would require buyers to register for ammunition and outlaw large capacity magazines, is favored 2-1.

Prop. 62, which would ban the death penalty in California, is headed for defeat, with 50 percent of voters saying they’re against it and 39 percent for.

The survey interviewed 900 voters across the state, including 816 who are registered to vote and 747 who have already voted or are considered likely to vote.
