Ahead of November’s election, California voters’ support for Proposition 40, also known as the billionare tax, is dwindling, according to a joint poll by the UC Berkeley Jack Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research and Politico. An August poll from the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies found that 48% of likely voters would vote “yes” on the proposition.

The margin of error for the Citrin Center poll is 2.7%. Prop 40 is a wealth tax intended to fund state healthcare programs, food assistance initiatives and public education.
