Here is a summary of the poll's findings.

3. Dont know why Routers is running the same poll from over a week ago

This is the same poll that was released over a week ago... its not new:

Ipsos Public Affairs surveyed 600 Californian adults on behalf of Reuters between October 2 and October 4. The results are considered accurate within 4 percentage points, 4.7 percentage points for questions pertaining to likely voters.

It also contains the only Prop 19 poll that shows it losing, which makes me think they may have a problem with their numbers or the way they are conduction their polling for initiatives.

4. If they drain the Right and still win, we kick butt.

It is nice to see all that money that could of influenced races all over the country be poured into these races. Karl and his cronies plan is backfiring.
