Despite massive spending from Uber and Lyft, a ballot measure that would allow the app-based companies to classify drivers as independent contractors is struggling with voters heading into the last week before Election Day.
According to the final pre-election poll from UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS), support for Prop 22 does not meet the 50% plus one voter threshold it needs to pass. The survey also shows Prop 15, which would change how commercial property taxes are calculated; Prop 16, which would bring back affirmative action; and Prop 21, which would allow cities to expand rent control, likely headed for defeat.
