A survey by the Field Poll shows that 76 percent of likely voters support Proposition 83. It would raise penalties for violent sex offenders barring them from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park.

Voters are also inclined to support measures this fall that would raise cigarette and oil taxes and limit the governments' eminent domain powers.
