Transportation District Voters Split on Proposition 1, Roads & Transit Measure: 14 days till the voting window ends, transportation district voters are divided on Proposition 1, the Roads and Transit Measure, according to a SurveyUSA poll of the approximate transportation districts, conducted exclusively for KING-TV. In a survey that includes those who have already voted and those who are certain to vote before Election Day, 30% are certain to vote Yes, 32% are certain to vote No, and 37% are not yet certain how they will vote. These numbers are volatile and can be expected to change as the substantial "not certain" block makes up its mind over the next 2 weeks. The measure is effectively tied in King County, tied in Snohomish County and tied in Pierce County. Younger voters favor Proposition 1 by the tiniest margin. Older voters oppose Proposition 1, ever-so-slightly. 43% of those under age 50, and 45% of women, are not certain today how they will vote on Proposition 1. Republicans and Independents oppose the measure. Democrats support. Moderates split. Based on the data collected, and given the emotional tone of the debate, any outcome is possible when votes are counted.
