Three California ballot measures could go either way with less than two weeks before the election, according to a new survey, while two prominent propositions face uphill battles and tough-on-crime Proposition 36 continues to receive a strong majority of support.

Proposition 34, an electoral oddity backed by landlords seeking to choke off funding for rent-control crusader the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, had 47% of likely voters in support, according to the Public Policy Institute of California, which surveyed 1,137 likely voters Oct. 7-15. Forty-nine percent said they would vote no, and with an error margin of +/-3.7%, the measure’s fate hung in the balance.
