As you may know, Californians will also be asked to vote on several ballot measures this year. One of them, Proposition 19, deals with marijuana. A "yes" vote would allow people over 21 to possess, cultivate or transport marijuana within California. A "no" vote would retain current California laws which make marijuana illegal. If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on Proposition 19?

• Yes 45%
