| 5 Days Until San Diego Mayoral Primary Votes Are Counted, 3 Candidates In Tight Fight To Be in the Top 2:
In a primary election for San Diego Mayor today, 05/31/12, 3 candidates have the potential to advance to a general election in November, but only 2 will, according to this latest exclusive SurveyUSA poll conducted for KGTV-TV. Today, City Council Member Carl DeMaio gets 31%, Congressman Bob Filner gets 28%, State Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher gets 23%. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released 17 days ago, DeMaio is flat; Filner is up 7; Fletcher is up 2. SurveyUSA's interactive tracking graphs show the poll-on-poll changes among each demographic subgroup. Early voting began 05/07/12. Among the 28% of voters who tell SurveyUSA they have already voted, DeMaio has 36%; Filner has 31%; Fletcher has 16%. Among the 72% who tell SurveyUSA they have not yet voted but are certain to do so on or before 06/05/12, DeMaio has 29%; Filner and Fletcher each have 26%. |
| San Diego Proposition B, which would replace pensions with 401(k)-style plans for most newly hired city employees, passes today with 57% of likely voters certain they will vote "yes" on the measure, 21% certain they will vote "no." 22% are not yet certain how they will vote. Compared to SurveyUSA's previous poll for KGTV-TV, support among independents has risen, while opposition among Democrats has also increased. Combined, they produce a slight increase in overall support for the measure. |
| Cell phone respondents and home phone respondents included in this survey: SurveyUSA interviewed 800 San Diego adults 05/28/12 through 05/30/12. Of them, 700 were registered to vote. Of the registered, 542 were determined by SurveyUSA to have already voted or to be likely to vote in the 06/05/12 primary. If no one candidate receives a majority of the vote in the primary, the top two finishers will advance to a 11/06/12 general election. Incumbent Mayor Jerry Sanders is term-limited. This survey was conducted using blended sample, mixed-mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (87% of likely voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone (13% of likely voters) were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone or other electronic device. |
