There are 18029 registered voters in South Walton's four precincts.

Precinct 510 (Miramar Beach) has 44.4% of the registered voters
Precinct 520 (Santa Rosa Beach) has 35.0% of the registered voters
Precinct 530 (Point Washington) has 16.8% of the registered voters
precinct 540 (Rosemary Beach) has 8.5% of the registered voters.

The polling company called registered voters in each of those precincts until the completed calls within that precinct matched the % of voters.

The support for incorporation increased in each precinct east of the Miramar Beach Precinct.

I'm pretty sure most of people thinking about incorporation weren't picturing Miramar being included. Seems that would skew the results considerable higher in the 30-A corridor.

Danny you know as well as I do that one POLL does not necessarily indicate the final outcome.

This poll was run to establish a baseline. This issue will be polled ar least two more times this year.

The "Incorporation Study" is to be delivered this month sometime and it is my understanding that the group driving this will have multiple public meeting to explain what the study shows in therms of services, costs and options available to develop the plan to pose to the legislature and the voters.

This poll only shows where the voters are Today prior to the nuts and bolts being revealed.

Question 5 - The question on "taxes" is a major hurdle to be answered as 84.5 % said taxes were to high now.

I know opinion moves as people focus. But I would have thought the "cool" factor and mostly pro discussion in the media would have driven the Yes votes higher right now. Apparently taxes is the issue that is driving the response.
Re-nourishment is a good example of how opinion forms. In spite of huge efforts to convince the public that it is a great thing, opinion swung more and more negative.
Public meetings are a hard way to sell the masses. Bob, you know how poor attendance usually is.

Things slide sideways on these forums. It must be because of the wind. Trim your sails.
