Poll Indicates Glendale Residents' Support For Coyotes Falling

Less Than Quarter Of Voters Say Taxpayer
Money Should Go Toward Keeping Coyotes
A poll released yesterday by Americans for Prosperity indicated that support for the Coyotes "may be faltering among the team's closest neighbors, the residents of Glendale," according to Rebekah Sanders of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC. The poll indicated that "less than a quarter of Glendale voters surveyed said they would support spending taxpayer money to keep the financially struggling team from leaving the city's Jobing.com Arena." But the survey "appears to be partisan-driven and touches on a bailout scenario that city leaders say is off the table." Virginia-based Republican survey research firm Public Opinion Strategies "conducted phone interviews with 300 Glendale voters on March 23." When asked whether Glendale "should give the Coyotes" $3-15M each year to keep the team or allow the team to move, 72% polled said to "let the NHL team leave." Americans for Prosperity Arizona Dir Tom Jenney said the answer is to "let the Coyotes fend for themselves." Jenney: "If they can make a successful venture, more power to them. But don't do it with taxpayer subsidies." Coyotes President & COO Doug Moss said, "I feel it would be inappropriate to comment on a study or survey that's based on erroneous ... reporting" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 3/26).
