California had a ballot measure to abolish the death penalty; 54% voted in favor of keeping the death penalty. I'd guess some of the difference is California currently has the death penalty, so it seems normal.
It seems strange to me that opposition to the death penalty in this case is so high.
Not much appetite for it? I think potentially half or more of the population may support it. Support for capital punishment is higher than one might expect even in places where it would never be reimplemented given present political realities, such as Canada & Western Europe. I don't really care whether they bring it back.
This says more than half support it, but since Democrats control the legislature, I don't see it happening:
I'm really surprised the word "f u c k" didn't get blocked out on snj's post lol
Well I hope this comment doesn't jinx that....
because the letter c is in italics.

BTW, I calculated that if the US keeps executing prisoners at the current rate, you will reach the number we killed in those 2 years I mentioned above in around the year 2400. So keep the injections coming boys!

It looks like just a straight up "c" to me, hard to tell it was italicized at quick glance at first.
BTW, I'm against the death penalty completely. I find rotting in prison for the rest of your life, especially if you're a younger person, much more torturous and painful than just dying. I honestly think dying is the easy way out IMO, not to mention many prisoners end up on death row for 20, 30 years so the whole "death penalty being easier on taxpayers" stuff is actually bull.
Unless you're a complete socio or psychopath (which contrary to popular belief, not ALL murderers have those mental illnesses) you would likely feel a great deal of regret for what you did for the rest of your life.
