Is 4-7 years a long time? What does majority-popular mean? Someone else asked &quot;what polls,&quot; and I have to agree with that. I think the last time this came up in California for a ballot initiative the results weren&#x27;t as you are assuming.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what the majority opinion is on anything; from what I can tell if you asked a large number if Americans who Abraham Lincoln was with 3 choices, it would probably be all over the place.
