Survey Details
Seven out of ten likely
BUT 84% of these voters say they very often see other people driving and talking on a hand-held phone.
Three-quarters (75%) of these likely voters—about the same percentage who say they rarely or never do it themselves—approve of the acting governor's proposal to let police issue a $100 ticket to people seen driving and talking into a hand-held set. The high approval rating holds across party affiliation, gender, age and race.
“A very popular governor seems to have found a popular initiative to put through the legislature,” said Peter Woolley, a professor of political science and director of the poll.
The PublicMind poll of 602 likely voters statewide was conducted by telephone from October 4 through October 9 and has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
