Anyone seen any polls for the looming "right-to-work" referendumb in Colorado?

I have a feeling it's not gonna pass, but I just want to see how close the polls end up being to the real results.

Don't know.  Colorado isn't in as much of a need to a right-to-work as some States, as currently even if a union is recognized for a workplace, a referendum is required to make it a closed shop, with more than a simple majority of votes cast needed to approve it (a majority of all employees or three-quarters of votes cast).  That means that the card check anti-democracy rule the unions hope to sneak in at the Federal level won't have as much effect there as in other closed shop States.

I will say that if card check is ever adopted, Colorado won't be the only State considering anti-closed shop measures.
