LATEST POLLS SUGGESTS PADRES BALLPARK HEADED FOR BIG WIN

          A "commanding majority" of San Diego voters plans to
     vote for Proposition C, the Padres ballpark measure,
     according to a new SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE/NBC-TV poll. 
     Sixty percent say they support the measure, while 31% plan
     to oppose it.  The remaining 9% are undecided.  The UNION-
     TRIBUNE's Gerry Braun writes, "The results indicate that the
     opposition campaign has made virtually no headway since
     August," when 48% supported the measure and 31% opposed it
     in a similar poll.  Since then, the Padres have made an
     appearance in the World Series and have spent $1M on the
     pro-ballpark campaign, while its opposition has spent "only
     a few thousand dollars."  The survey also found an
     "unusually high level of public awareness of the ballpark
     debate," as 95% of voters said they knew about Proposition
     C.  The survey of 365 likely voters was conducted October 8
     - 17 by the Social Science Research Laboratory at SDSU.  It
     has a margin of error of +/- 5%.  Male voters favored the
     measure 67% to 28%, while female voters favored it 52% to
     35%.  Among those 54 and under, support for the ballpark was
     "better than" 2-to-1 (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 10/23).
