Poll results on August ballot initiative in Seattle
It’s looking more and more like people in Seattle will just say ‘no’ to the idea of a 20-cent fee on disposable plastic and paper grocery bags. A new KING5/Survey USA poll shows that the Aug. 18 ballot measure is opposed by 51 percent of the voters. Forty-two percent say they’ll vote yes. More troublesome for supporters of the bag fee is the fact that the survey shows that older people - who vote in bigger numbers in primaries - are really opposed the the bag tax. Fifty-seven percent of people 50 and older are opposed to the idea.
