Bistate 2 shows bad poll numbers

October 24, 2004 |

The Star and KMBC-TV 9 have the first and only independent poll of Bistate 2, and it’s below 50% in all three of the core counties. It’s no surprise that the sports side of the proposal is dragging down the whole thing.

County For Against Undecided
Jackson 43% 49% 7%
Clay 38% 49% 12%
Johnson 39% 51% 10%

Margin of error: 4%


More Bistate 2 poll questions:

Which is more worthy of tax support: the stadiums or the arts?
Stadiums: 22%
Arts: 46%
Equal: 28%
Undecided: 4%

Are you more likely to go to arts events or attend a Chiefs or Royals game?
Arts event: 42%
Game: 36%
Equal: 22%

Will the recent records of the Chiefs and Royals on the field affect your vote:
Yes: 7%
No: 92%
Undecided: 1%

Where do you think the baseball stadium for the Royals should be:
Where it is now: 78%
Downtown: 11%
Elsewhere/undecided: 11%

    I find two thing interesting in these poll numbers:

    (1) much-maligned JoCo voters don’t oppose Bi-State II much more than Clay or Jackson County voters, and

    (2) the article points out that most voters are more disposed to spend a bunch of money on the arts than the sports teams.

    Interesting stuff.
