[b]A Dan Jones & Associates poll, conducted July 17-19 for the Deseret Morning News and KSL-TV, found that 58 percent of people who live in Salt Lake City favor The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' plans for a bridge in the planned City Creek Center development. Only 25 percent were opposed.
The survey gathered the responses of 400 people living throughout the city and has a margin of error of 5 percent.
The numbers show clear support for the controversial bridge, which Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson and urban-planning advocates warn could hurt downtown. But the city-wide survey results aren't as emphatic when compared to an earlier poll that asked Utahns statewide about the idea.
In that poll, conducted May 21-24, 77 percent of respondents said they supported the bridge

[quote]Like the May poll, the newest survey shows a religious divide over the skybridge plans. Of respondents who identified themselves as LDS

So has this become some religious divide thing? Did President Hinckley proclaim that the flock should support this bridge?

Seems like Rocky has a point, bridge will choke out local business.

The support has nothing to do with religion, only the opposition.

It seems to me that Rocky should do whatever the people want him to do, shouldn't he?

Not necessarily, plenty of elected officials have gone against the majority of their constituents opinion

<- ex-Mormon.
<- lives in down town.
<- doesn't want a sky bridge.

Here is my response in the same order:

<- Religion . . . irrelevant
<- Shop and and do business in downtown regularly but don't live there
<- Hates to shop and do business in the freezing cold or blazing heat, wants sky bridge
<- Would vote for Bullwinkle before Rocky (don't give a rat's tail about Rocky's opinion on this matter)
