Poll funded by group against A’s Howard Terminal Ballpark gets its desired result

Last Wednesday, the East Oakland Stadium Alliance published the result of a poll they funded to gauge the public’s desire to subject the Howard Terminal Project to a popular vote. The poll surveyed 800 likely voters and found strong support for putting the approval of the Howard Terminal Project into the voter’s hands (76% for — 15% against). The poll results have been described in local news after Oakland City Council Member Fife made headlines proposing the idea in mid-March. The release also found that a similar percentage of voters (75%) want an “independent public fiscal analysis conducted,” but it failed report the exact question that was posed to poll respondents.
