"Last month, Proposition 30 had more than 52 percent of the vote, but a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California shows support has dropped to 48 percent.Forty-four percent said they would vote no; 8 percent were undecided.\u00A0The PPIC poll has a 4 point margin of error.Prop 30 would raise sales taxes for everyone by a quarter-cent, and the income tax for those making more than $250,000 a year.Gov. Jerry Brown said it's up to the voters to help save public education.He claims that without his tax plan, the school year would be cut by 3 weeks, and colleges would lose $500,000.Voter Jonathan Lopez told KCRA 3 he planned to vote yes because he wanted to put cash back in our schools.Sacramento County resident Richart Stritt said he hopes Prop 30 doesn't pass, because he is struggling to make ends meet and doesn't want to pay higher taxes.Stritt also told KCRA 3 that he just graduated from college, and cuts are happening regardless of whether the measure is approved by voters.There is a competing tax plan on the November ballot -- supporters of Prop 38 claim their measure would give schools twice as much money.Both sides have raised millions of dollars to try to sway voters.The winning proposition has to get more than 50 percent of the vote."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
