Here are the results of the Sactown Royalty poll on how bad the tax measure (Measure R) will do, as of 8a this morning:
How bad will the sales tax measure do?
Lose by < 5 3 %
Lose by 5-10 7 %
Lose by 10-20 25 %
Lose by 20-40 44 %
Lose by 40%+ 18 %
Lose by < 5 3 %
Lose by 5-10 7 %
Lose by 10-20 25 %
Lose by 20-40 44 %
Lose by 40%+ 18 %
For the record, I voted for "lose by 40%+". If I had to guess the results, I'd say 22-78. Yeah, it's bad.
Measure Q - which might end up being a bette representation of public sentiment because it's a nonbinding sort-of 'yea or nay' on the arena type question - might get to 42-58.
Last minute predictions, anyone?
