Prop 37 to Label GMO Foods Fails in Californiaselfnews Post The last few weeks has seen a stunning reversal of poll numbers in favor of Prop 37.Nationwide polls consistently show around 90% of Americans support GMO labeling, and a month ago California polls showed over 60% supported labeling. Then, large food conglomerates pooled their funds to oppose to the measure and outspent the citizens Right to Knowcampaign nearly 6-to-1 ($45 million to $8 million). Here is the list of the top donors that opposed labeling: Below is one of the many Vote No on 37 commercials used to convince the public that labeling is not important: Some radio spots even claimed that labeling would raise prices at the grocery stores in an attempt to scare voters. After this barrage of ads, polling as recent as two weeks ago showed less than 40% of the people still supported labeling GMOs with over 50% opposed to it.
