The Field Poll has this election eve report for California, noted in yesterday's News Scan. The ethnic breakdown on Proposition 19, the marijuana legalization initiative, is interesting.
Among white non-Hispanic voters, it's a dead heat, 46-46. The proposition leads among black voters, but only by 5%, 45-40. But it's getting clobbered among Latino voters, 35-55, and even more so among the three Asian subgroups listed, with 40%+ margins for Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese Americans. The "other" group, made up largely of Asians not included in the three listed subgroups, is also against by a 43% margin.
