Although the study is still in early stages,
Newton said many factors still could influence
the study.

One other new question concerned the
building of additional runway space at Blue—
grass Airport.

Fifty percent opposed it, 34 percent sup—
ported it and I3 percent were undecided.

The central Kentuckians polled were cho—
sen at random using a phone book but had to
be registered voters to be surveyed.

The majority of citizens polled were from
Fayette County because students called only
the counties where they were from.

government and state government classes.

Few of the questions asked on the 9-year-
old poll, which has been released each
semester, are new.

“Several of them are questions we ask every
year," said Cantrell, who writes the questions
with help from other political science profes-
sors and students.

One of the new questions dealt with the
possibility of building a new basketball arena
on UK campus.

While 49 percent oppose the idea, 39 per—
cent support it. Almost 13 percent of central
Kentuckians are undecided in their feelings
about the proposed new arena.

Although other state universities and busi-
nesses support Gov. Paul Patton‘s plan to
combine the community colleges and technical
schools under a separate board, the latest polit—
ical science survey shows that Central Ken-
tuckians strongly oppose it.

About 63 percent of the Central Kentucky
citizens polled opposed the plan.

As for Patton’s performance in general, 39
percent responded that he is doing a fair job.
