Jail. Thanks. Campaign 2016 is just weeks away. A pivotal vote on pot, the cannabis race may be closer than anyone thought. It is one of the controversial measures. They approved medical marijuana years ago. Now it would tax the recreational use. U. S. Sa poll says 32 say yes and 40 say no. Joining us and phil, the routs show no slam dunk. Usually with a controversial measure like this, you want to have a 5, 7, even 10 point edge because voters tend to say know in the closing point. That edge may be going up in smoke. Reporter with the support of big names like the california medical association, the naacp and newsom, six in ten voters were ready to legalize recreational marijuana. This is about getting drug dealers off the street. But new poll of california voters show support dropping to a much narrower 52 with 40 of the voters saying no and 8 still undecided. This issue is not about whether or not marijuana should be legalized. Its how should it be legalized. Support for legalization seems to be strongest among baby boomers. It has been legalized in other states with no significant problems. And under 35. People are doing it anyway, so. Backers say the challenge would be with minorities. I have people in my families brains are not well because of marijuana. Californiaens know that our Current System with regards to marijuana is broken. One issue that both the police chief and district attorneys are raising are driving under the influence. If you look at colorado and you look at washington state, their traffic collisions and fatalities have increased significantly. The measure supports revenue, so that Law Enforcement can administer the new law and develop working standard for duis in california. Reporter as for the new poll showing a close race every poll we have seen has shown yes winning by a large margin. The other side might have money and momentum, but we have common sense. Reporter i know you always follow the money, so who is the big money behind this . Interesting, shawn parker, facebook president , 200 million and weed map, well, if it goes commercial it could show you where to buy it all the time. Interesting to note this is big money, 5, 10 million could be going into this campaign for and against. But thats not nearly as big as the cigarette tax we are going to be talking about. Thanks very much. As we mentioned the proposition to increase the tangs on cigarettes up to 2, backing prop 66 while 33 against it. And proposition 33, background checks for those wants to buy ammunition. Polls show 60 in favor and 27 the opposed. Minking with donors mingling with donors, instead she is taking some time off. The official diagnosis came friday, but her camp didnt reveal it to the public until sunday when she stumbled at a 911 event. Its a snapshot, how damaging is her pneumonia diagnosis, campaign stumble or legitimate cause for concern. Go to our website to weigh in. And we will show you the results as they come in at the bottom of our screen. Kpix 5 is here where Hillary Clinton skipped the fundraiser. Reporter it is behind me at the ma sonic center. Tickets started at 250 apiece and no one has yet asked for a refund. Still, as you might imagine, even clinton supporters were disappointed. I was hoping to meet her today. Yeah, are you disappointed. I am to some degree. I know she is going to teleconference in. Her presence will be felt here regardless. This afternoon people were lining up to get into the clinton fundraiser even though Hillary Clinton is not physically here. We are told she will appear by phone or remote video. She is recovering from pneumonia and that has been an issue. The video of clinton leaving a 911 Memorial Service monday was jarring. I hope she is getting some rest. People try to cover it up or hide it and are not forthcoming with information. It was not so much clintons health, as it was the handling of the message about her health. We understand that and have sympathy for that, but the way her campaign handled it. The story changed three times. And this is problematic with the perception they have of her campaign, you hear one thing and turns into another and you never know if she is telling the truth. And president obamas former Campaign Advisor expressed frustration. He tweeted whats the cure for unhealthy pension for privacy that creates unnecessary problems . Supporters say tonight they are hoping for reassurance and maybe a little more information from the candidate. I just want to hear that she is going to get better and she is going to get elected. Being a little bit more human and talking about, you know, acknowledging that she is having this difficulty right now, not being as secret and as ultra private as i think she is intending to be. Knowing that she is here and she is okay. Earlier today clintons Communications Director wrote the campaign could have done a better job handling this issue, liz. Thank you, we will check back in in just a little bit. Meanwhile, a vocal critic in the past, suggesting clinton lack it is stamina to be a president. But in an interview he wished her well. I hope she gets well and is back on the trail and see her at the debate. Trump had a physical last week and will release his record later orange this week. President obama remains confident that he has the strength, regardless of her diagnosis. We will bring the final results later. We are about an hour away from the first game of the season at levy stadium. The 49er fans are filing into levis, nearly 65,000 people expected to attend. Lent outside the stadium. Eyes going to be on Colin Kaepernick at least the beginning of the game. Thats right. This is getting a lot of attention across the nation and league with a lot of other players starting to join in. Tonight we found out some fans at the stadium will be joining kaepernick on a knee. Colin kaepernick will be starting the game from the bench, but all eyes will be on him during the National Anthem as he is expected to take a knee to express Police Brutality against african americans. He is making everybody conscious of what he is talking act. These fans came up from compton to support him. They also plan on taking a knee in the stands. We go through Police Brutality, we lose people every day, you know what im saying, just by Police Brutality. The protests are gaining strength. At yesterdays Miami Seattle game, theta stood, but locked arms in solidarity while some did take a knee. Its their right and, you know, my job is to coach the football team. In kansas city a flashback to the back power salute to the 1960s a chief rose his fist and two new England Patriots rose their fists. Kaepernick jersey sales are going up just because of that. Its a distraction from the game that we are trying to play. A lot of people are saying he is right about it. A lot of people are saying hes wrong about it. Its a free country, america. As far as i know everybody has an opportunity to express their opinion. And many people are expressing their opinion as many people file into levi stadium for some taillight parties for the game against the los angeles rams. It has gotten a lot of attention. Hardly anyone noticed, it got more attention where there were mostly boos, it will be interesting to see what the home crowd does, if there will be boos from the home crowd. Len ramirez, kpix 5.

If you believe the headlines, project titan has crashed into a ditch. Apple expert says calm down and pump your blakes. It is not dead. It is probably going to be going stronger with focused amount of people. Tim says it is a small number of employees that were let go. Project titan had grown rapidly and hired more than a thousand employees from all around the world. I suspect even though they had a vision and a goal, they probably overhired as part of the process. Whats more, bob was brought out of retirement. Mansfield is an apple legend and likely the one that structured the titan team. The fact they brought in mansfield, shows it is a solid future and he is reforming the project in the sense of what really needs to be done and what kind of people he needs as part of making it happen. So is apple actually building a car or are they working on the software to drive it . Are they partnering with another company . Nobody really knows for sure, but tim says whatever it is they are working on, the timeline has not change and expect to see it in the next 3 to 5 years. In sunnyvale.

Investigators on the ground trying to determine what went wrong. The medical examiner hasnt identified the victims, but loved ones identified one of the victims as ed mumbert. He has been going to his San Jose Church for years. Im in shock. Like im never going to see ed again . Ed believed in god. I trust he is with the lord, but just to not be with him and to laugh and to do the things that we did doesnt seem real.

Along with the pilot and one other person were on board heading to the bay area, at san carlos airport, a single four person plane plummeted into the Airport Parking lot.

Back in october we showed you this grassy patchy land the owner dug up without a permit, the problem is it could cause the hillside to collapse and would be bad for the homeowners and anybody walking by.

Reporter starting this week the department was forced to reassign 47 officers from more than two dozen different units. The hardest hit, the canine unit, next the metro unit with six officers and the Sexual Assault unit lost 4. We have to look for long term and short term problems. The short term is being honest and candid that we need help. Like property crimes and Sexual Assault will make the Police Department less effective and undermine the publics trust.
