Poll Doesn't Fool Participants
Dear News & Observer Editorial Staff,
Regarding your 4/27 article "Poll shows support for Triangle rail service," I was one of the 811 respondents to the April 12 telephone survey. Why am I not surprised that the poll showed overwhelming support for regional rail? Let me answer that with a simple question: Who paid for the survey? The very people who are trying to save their jobs - the Triangle Transit Authority. I found it very difficult, during the telephone survey, to answer the questions in a way that would convey the fact that I don't support the rail system. Many questions were worded such that most answers would show at least some support. Your article noted an interesting point - why didn't the survey ask if the respondent would ride the rails?

Looks like it's time to add one of those thingees that requires a human to type letters in from graphics a computer can't read!
