IEP and Reliant have just completed some polling for California. Here are the fascinating results -- which should help shape our message. This polled as the #1 voter issue 58% say its not appropriate to use tax dollars to bailout by the utilities by buying transmission, hydro or stock options. Who favors the state getting the following in return for dollars (forced to choose one): Hydroelectric -- 28% Stock options -- 27% Transmission -- 18% 50% say its OK for the government to play a larger role in purchasing and distribution 48% say the state SHOULD NOT takeover transmission 39% say the state SHOULD NOT create a public power agency 45% oppose re-regulation which is estimated to cost $40 billion Asked if it is fair for the generators who are owed $1 billion to be forced to sell without assurance of being paid, 47% said this was unfair WHo's to blame: 38% Legislature 22% Utilities 11% Davis 10% Generators withholding power 52% says Davis is doing a good job 38% said he's not This was reported to be the same as for Bush and "Davis will know that" 49% says Davis is on the wrong track Would you want to re-elect Davis? 38% yes 42% replace him 38% are angry about it -- they said this isn't enough for the "pitchfork parade" yet 33% only this amount thinks Davis' handling is "exceptional" or "good" 10% for the regulators 12% for the legislature Now for the bad news: ASKED PREVIOUSLY -- If rates went up 10% without any blackouts or if there was no rate increase with blackouts every day of the summer, which do you prefer Blackouts -- 46% Rate inc -- 41% ASKED IN THIS ROUND -- If rates went up 25% without any blackouts or if there was no rate increase with blackouts every day of the summer, which do you prefer Blackouts -- 47% Rate inc -- 36% Sue Mara Enron Corp.
