Voters in Ohio next month will decide on a ballot initiative that would raise the threshold for future ballot initiatives in the state to succeed from 50 percent to 60 percent.
Critics have said that this would essentially shut down voters' ability to have direct input on the democratic process, and a new USA TODAY Network/Suffolk University poll found that many Ohio voters are not happy about it.
As the Columbus Dispatch reports, the poll found that 57 percent of the voters surveyed opposed the measure, while only 26 percent support it and 17 percent remain undecided.
If the poll is accurate and if all of the remaining undecideds decided to support the initiative, it would still lose resoundingly by 14 points.

Dennis Willard, a spokesman for the One Person One Vote coalition, tells the Columbus Dispatch that he believes the Ohio GOP and its allies are trying to "sneak" the initiative by voters by hoping it passes in a low-turnout August election.
"There is an enormous coalition working to educate voters about Issue 1 -- and the more voters learn, the more they hate it," he noted.
