Poll finds Maryland voters cool to redistricting ballot question
Original: Poll: Voters oppose redistricting ballot question when presented 'meat of the political outcome'
A new poll finds Maryland voters oppose a redistricting ballot question once they are shown what polling described as the 'meat of the political outcome' — the actual partisan consequences of the measure. Support softens considerably when the political effects are spelled out, rather than leaving voters with the question's framing alone.
Why now: The finding matters right now because the redistricting question is heading to voters and both sides are arguing over how its consequences are presented.
