A new poll shows the Chargers' stadium ballot measure is "headed for near-certain defeat as many previously undecided voters have begun to oppose the initiative," according to a front-page piece by David Garrick of the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE. A Union-Tribune/KGTV-ABC poll released Thursday shows that Measure C is trailing 55% to 45% "among actual voters and likely voters who are certain how they will vote," down from a 52% to 48% margin against the measure in mid-October. The latest poll shows Measure C is "far short of the two-thirds support" required for approval. The number of undecided voters shrank from 18% to 12% when the latest poll is "compared to the mid-October poll, and it appears a large majority of those making a decision since then have chosen not to support Measure C." That drop in support comes "despite the Chargers spending millions of dollars on TV and radio ads, aggressively soliciting votes on social media and running a strong ground campaign with hundreds of volunteers visiting voters door to door" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 11/4).
