Charles, the link to the crosstabs is wrong. It should be this.

As I commented in the last thread, the rest of the poll’s breakdowns shows no support and only a plurality of self-described liberals support this project (49%).

Even on the borough support, I’m not sure whether the poll itself can truly gauge support since only 696 people citywide were polled, and there is no geographical breakdown of where those people were so there’s no way to know if a statistically significant number of Manhattanites were polled. In fact, they lumped together Staten Island and Queens, despite the fact that each are distinct boroughs (and separated by Brooklyn no less).

Yet, your general point stands - Manhattanites seem to support the construction, but on each and every other metric in the poll, there is no support.
