Let's that it is a headline we're not unit called this is about -- May be there is hope -- California.
In a new poll support a tax increases has fallen below 50% for the first time.
Joining us now is Tom -- Colorado he's ahead of the Republicans.
In California and to whom I -- perhaps an apology.
I thought this would never happened to almighty -- -- I can't believe.
That the Californians won't go for every new tax that's ever been put in front of them but this time.
May be they'll beat a tax increase really.
No actually the last eight statewide tax increases have failed.
This one's following the usual pattern at the beginning of the year that -- push poll do you want more taxes for education.
Californians are big on education but what happens over the summer.
It's people find out that.
Well they've been wasting money in Sacramento big surprise and then as it gets closer the fall of course what's on the ballot.
He's just are you getting give more money not are you gonna give more money to taxes and of course we have the big fight between Molly munger.
Charles munger seniors daughter and Jerry Brown two rival tax increases.
They're shooting themselves in the foot and so that's why this is gonna fail.
Well do you think that this is the beginning of a real change.
What California's walk away from much more spending and much higher taxes.
Finally see the life and reverse course I'm trying to be optimistic for you guys is it realistically optimistic.
Look I think -- -- and 2014 and sixteen is going to be the bottom for the Democrats keep in mind that we have eight of the ten worst foreclosure and unemployment areas in the country.
California's can't afford to bailout Sacramento also when they turn this down.
Jerry Brown's gonna have to decide to cut back on government keep -- he has grown government over the last two years if you can believe it.
So I think the Democrats are headed to a very difficult space especially after this tax increase is turned out.
Now what about the general election.
I still say that California gives at least a ten point advantage to President Obama -- all gonna contradictory on the Natalia.
Not you have fifteen the last time I was on some -- you're down to ten now.
We're getting closer what's important again is prop 32.
If that passes along with today striking down on this tax increase think California beyond the -- for reforms that the last time I was on -- show I told you.
Politics is a pendulum game the pendulum starting to turn back in California okay.
Out got a few seconds left your prediction please -- -- margin does President Obama win California.
Less than the current pull -- team.
Less than the current poll afford to look at we got two things -- -- so the current poll has a fourteen point advantage of President Obama and you'll fall and I just as -- less than that.
And I think overall Romney's gonna win by at least five points.
But that's exactly what I said last Friday by you know Tom -- -- are you become a welcome guest on this for a -- everything is expensive thank you very much so good luck.
