About that Poll

That Up Front episode also mentioned a Survey USA poll that King 5 commissioned. At first glance, it showed trouble for the Roads and Transit measure. But look close, and you'll see that it actually doesn't cover the same area that will vote on the bill.

The poll asked residents of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. But only a small subset of those counties is in the RTID/ST taxation area (see image at right).

In other words, the survey included a lot of folks who don't live or work near the proposed projects, and won't be voting on them anyway.
