O.C. Central Park plan support
The Orange County
Register
A poll released Wednesday by Chapman University shows strong support
for the proposed Orange County Central Park and Nature Preserve initiative,
planned for March 2002. Although most people surveyed support the park,
most also think the county's airport plan will prevail, however. Here are
results of four questions from a survey of 1,000 people April 16 through
May 1. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.
