Louisville, CO–September 27, 2010– Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies today released survey results of 383 interviews with likely general election voters in the City of Alameda. The survey has a margin of error of +/- 4.98% at the 95% confidence interval. The survey was fielded on September 20th and 21st.
To capture the full range of issue priorities, we asked voters an open-ended issue priority question. The top two open-ended issue priorities were: education/education funding and Alameda Point development. Another section of the survey listed voter priority issues for respondents to choose from. The top three listed responses were: bringing new jobs to Alameda, city spending and wasting taxpayer dollars. These responses point to voter concerns around the management of taxpayer dollars, either through education funding or through frivolous spending of taxpayer dollars.
Survey results also revealed where the Alameda mayoral election stands. Alameda likely voters were asked about their current preference for Alameda mayor and were able to choose their preference from a list of all candidates. For mayor, the survey found Gilmore and DeHaan in position one and two, at 18% and 17% respectively.
