Support for Proposition 4 — the $10 billion climate bond — is climbing with less than two months before polls close in the November election. New polling released Thursday by the Public Policy Institute of California found 65 percent of likely voters back the proposal to fund flood protection and climate resiliency projects. That’s up from 59 percent in PPIC’s July survey, conducted just after the measure cleared the Legislature and qualified for the ballot. Proposition 4 has among the highest support of the 10 ballot measures voters will weigh on, putting the campaign in a strong position heading into the fall.
