Utahns in favor of Salt Lake City sports and entertainment district per survey

Smith Entertainment Group

A new survey in Utah shows “broad support” for the proposed downtown sports, entertainment, culture and convention district and arena modifications in Salt Lake City, according to Dennis Romboy of the DESERET NEWS. HarrisX found in a poll of 854 Utah adults conducted for the Deseret News and Hinckley Institute Nov. 26-Dec. 5 that 63% “favor establishing the zone,” while 19% do not and 18% “don’t know.” The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. Romboy noted Salt Lake County residents’ support of the plan matched that of Utahns statewide at 63%. Utah County and Davis County residents “showed slightly higher support” at 66% and 70%, respectively. The survey also found “wide support” — exceeding 60% — for the proposed zone across gender, age, education and income categories, the “exceptions being those age 65 and older and rural Utahns.” Those groups “hovered around” 50% approval (DESERET NEWS, 1/3).
