Summary

This special topic poll, which is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues, asked respondents living in or around the District of Columbia questions regarding the move of the former Montreal Expos professional baseball team to Washington, DC. Respondents were asked whether having a professional baseball team would be good or bad for the city and region, whether the baseball stadium should be financed by city funds, whether the city negotiators financed a good or bad deal with baseball owners, whether DC taxpayers and citizens would end up paying for the stadium, and whether professional baseball and the stadium would benefit the city economically. Other questions asked respondents whether they were fans of or followed professional baseball, whether they had a favorite professional baseball team, whether they planned to attend professional baseball games at Robert F. Kennedy stadium during the next year, how many Baltimore Orioles games they had attended in the past five years, how the professional baseball team in DC would affect their attendance at Orioles games, and what Washington's new baseball team should be named. Background information includes voter registration, race, education, marital status, number of children living in the household, and income.
