Well, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofsandiego.com\/politics\/2019\/10\/20\/analysis-california-voters-cool-on-ballot-measures-as-elections-approach\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there\u2019s a few reasons:<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>It largely depends on what they are voting on<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voters tend to shy away from bills that raise taxes or attempt to change the education system. However, they are far less likely to lose support for bills that lower taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>It depends on the election<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support tends to drop more in general when there is a low-turnout election and in non-presidential years.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>There are exceptions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the majority of the time support tends to dwindle, 29 percent of the time voters became more supportive of a bill over time. One example would be Prop 6, which passed while raising taxes because its mission of &#8220;fixing the roads&#8221; was acceptable to most voters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent \u201csplit roll\u201d initiatives aimed at generating billions in revenue for the state are an example of voters being opposed to tax increases. The organizers recently decided to throw out a ballot proposal they already had approved and file a new version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason? Lack of public support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/states\/california\/story\/2019\/08\/13\/split-roll-backers-will-refile-tax-initiative-in-expensive-rewrite-1139166\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Politico<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reports, \u201cThe move is rare, given that organizers will have to collect nearly twice as many signatures under new qualifying rules based on record voter turnout in the November 2018 election.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split roll property taxes would repeal many Prop 13 protections, which protect business property owners from ever-increasing property taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this would not directly hurt most individuals, it would hurt the small businesses they support, and the lack of support shows voters aren\u2019t willing to let that happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The changes in the revised initiative are aimed at \u201cimprovements to implementation dates, expansive new small business tax relief, clarified education financing and stronger zoning language to ensure large corporations cannot avoid reassessment.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original proposal would\u2019ve generated between $7 billion and $11 billion in revenue, but it is unclear how much the new proposal will generate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support for Prop 13 protections, however, remain strong. In July, The Roundtable launched <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fightforprop13.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FightforProp13.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
