Not surprisingly, Democrats are more supportive of new funding sources for mass transit than Republicans are. But Republicans are not as unfriendly to it as you might think.
73% of Democrats supported some new form of revenue, compared to 16% who did not think there should be any new money for mass transit projects.
For Republicans the numbers were 47% in favor of one of the three funding options presented with 45% opposed to any new money. There is a significant gap between Democratic and Republicans responses but I would have expected a majority of Republicans in the Triangle to be opposed to new transit funding.
There was a significant gender gap in the results as well. While only 22% of women opposed any new funding sources for transit projects, 36% of men were.
