Based on a demographic analysis, Measure G has majority support among men and women; all age groups; whites, Latinos and Asians; Republicans, Democrats and Independents; high-school educated and college educated; and across all income classes.
 

Looks like SDSU West is doing very well with 3 weeks to go.  SDSU Football may get their stadium after all.

Here is quick synopsis of both plans.   Both plans call for a new smaller sized stadium, but the rift is who gets to control the development, and revenue streams along with  how the surrounding space to the stadium is used.

Measure E: SoccerCity

The goal: La Jolla-based FS Investors wants to redevelop the Qualcomm Stadium property. Its plan emerged amid concerns about the Chargers’ departure.

FS Investors is asking voters to force the city to lease the land — along with the Murphy Canyon site of the former Chargers headquarters — to it so it can build an urban district centered on a Major League Soccer expansion team. It’d demolish the current stadium and replace it with a smaller one plus build thousands of homes, retail space and 450 hotel rooms. The group has also committed to provide $20 million to $40 million for a 60-acre river park, although the park that San Diego River Foundation has long wanted isn’t guaranteed by this initiative.

Measure G: SDSU West

The goal: The SDSU West plan would require the city to sell much of the Mission Valley property to San Diego State, meaning the land would remain public and be owned by the state. SDSU has itself produced a plan for what it would do with the land, should it get control of it but the university is not allowed to take a position on Measure G.  SDSU has not agreed on a sales price.

The measure also says the university would be required to cause to be developed a riverpark should the measure pass. SDSU’s plan for Mission Valley involves replacing the stadium formerly known as Qualcomm with a 35,000-seat stadium. And then, after a series of environmental reviews and campus planning, it would build some amount of student housing, academic buildings, a river park, offices, retail, a hotel and housing. As with the SoccerCity initiative, the city attorney said park plans aren’t guaranteed.

Hillary was doing just dandy in the October polls too....

Hillary was about 3% up on Trump in the national polls going into election night.  And she won the popular vote at over 2.1% so it was pretty spot on.  SDSU West is over 25% higher than Socker City so its a big spread.  But you are correct... nothing is over until the votes are counted.

Why do people continually make this comparison regarding every poll? Poll's are historically accurate plus or minus 3% to 5%. Furthermore, Hillary was only projected a few percentage points ahead of Donald Trump, the week before the election. But that was on the General Ballot, and not State by State. 

Finally, are you implying that there is some sort of "Silent Majority" that does not want to tell their friends they are voting for FS, to avoid some fight, or family drama? Get a grip. This thing is over.

I expect the Soccer City folks to go crazy with ad blitzes all over these last 3 weeks.

And for that and other reasons, as you say, it's definitely not over.

As another example, James Comey will soon hold a press conference and announce the FBI has found nothing to suggest that FSI has colluded with the Russians.:rimshot1:

Boom goes the dynamite.

Two things,

One, it was a relatively small sample size, so it is as relevant as the Hillary joke.

 

Two,

For those if us that aren't in the know.  Please give a synopsis of this 'soccer city' vs football stadium rift.

Thanks.

Watch this. The SDSU president says this is a great "oppordunity" for them. :D

Like what? Are you saying the "average voter" doesn't have a computer?

The average Nye County resident does NOT have a computer.

Usually the most conservative vote is from early absentees and those ballots have already been returned.  If those poll numbers reflect the vote among early absentees accurately then SDSU is likely to win.

Late absentee and election day voters (Swifties!) will probably be similar unless something changes dramatically.  The article mentions that voters between 18 and 34 support SDSU West at 58% and that group would be a bigger share of late absentee and election day voters.

The ballot is essentially A) give land to private developer in exchange for nonexistent MLS team  or  B ) direct City to sell land to SDSU at market rate.   

It's not a complex issue and no one likes giving away their tax dollars
