A new statewide poll out sponsored by the Idaho Statesman newspaper shows Idahoans deeply divided over the school reform referenda measures on the November ballot, Propositions 1, 2 and 3. The poll of 625 likely voters, conducted last week and released over the weekend, showed these results:

• Prop 1: 42 percent against, 38 percent in favor, 20 percent undecided
• Prop 2: 42 percent in favor, 39 percent against, 19 percent undecided
• Prop 3: 47 percent against, 40 percent in favor, 13 percent undecided

Plus, when asked if the propositions, if approved by voters, will improve the quality of education in Idaho public schools, 44 percent said no, 39 percent yes, and 17 percent were undecided. You can read a full report here in the Statesman/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.

Question: Why do you think support for Propositions 1, 2 & 3 (Luna Laws) is soft among Republicans?
