Strong
opinions have already been formed. When respondents were asked how
they would likely vote, 51% said they would likely vote "yes,"
and another 25% might vote yes. 15% said they would vote no, and another
4% might vote no. Only 5% said they did not know (see
slide Q16 at right sidebar).
Both Leisure
Vision and Ballard*King indicated that there is usually a much higher
percentage of "don't know" answers in surveys taken before a
proposal is formalized. There were similar strong feelings expressed in
response to questions about how respondents feel about the project (see
slide Q15 at right sidebar).
Opinions
on whether "the center would be a valuable addition to the community,"
showed that 67% strongly agreed, and 9% strongly disagreed, with only
1% answering "don't know." Other opinion questions showed 14%
opposing the project, roughly consistent with the proportion of respondents
who indicated in other survey questions that they would not want to use
the facility.
Opinions
as to whether CPN can afford to build and operate the center showed that
14% strongly believe that CPN can not afford it, while 37% strongly feel
that CPN can afford it, and 21% said that they "don't know."
The survey was conducted before the financial projections were calculated
for the Proposal.
