Would you still support building the TMT if a majority of people (and this has not happened yet) oppose it?
Why has support dropped? Perhaps a few more questions should be asked:
* Would you still support the TMT if many of the opponent’s claims can proven false?
* Would you still support the TMT if opponents have broken the law after they insisted the TMT builders follow the letter of the law?
* Would you still support the TMT if many of the opponents made historical cultural and religious claims which can be traced no farther back in time than this year or last year?
I would be curious to see the results of an additional question in the poll.
If you oppose construction of the TMT is it because:
A) I believe the TMT will have a negative physical impact on Mauna Kea
B) I believe the TMT will have a negative cultural and religious impact on Mauna Kea
C) I’m tired of hearing about the protests on the news
D) Security costs for the protest cost taxpayers too much
