That proposition got voted down by 15 points though, despite every state senate democrat voting for it, almost every state house democrat (3 abstained the vote). As well as major corporate backing. The yes vote, which failed by 15 votes, had 25.1 million dollars spent vs 1.7 million for no.

So if even the most liberal state in the union can't pass it, with such high funding for it, it doesn't seem like it's popular with the general population as you state. Again, 15 point difference, in California, with over 23 more million spent.
