The Coolest Political Poll D.C.'s Ever Seen

Weeks before Election Day, the race for the non-Democratic at-large seat on the D.C. Council is tightening, according to a new Kojo Nnamdi Show-Washington City Paper poll. The poll — conducted through an automated phone survey of 1,222 registered likely DC voters — also covers a wide range of political and quality of life questions facing the District. It reveals a city divided on issues such as traffic cameras and recent ethics scandals in local government. But the survey also reveals emerging consensus across neighborhoods and racial lines around issues like taxis, Metro and a new D.C. United stadium. The survey was conducted by Public Policy Polling from Oct. 12, 2012, to Oct. 14, 2012. It has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 2.8 percentage points.
