OCTOBER 24, 2024 — A new survey of San Antonio voters by the 世界杯官方app Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR) shows a shift in sentiment for Proposition C, the San Antonio city charter amendment that would remove caps on the city manager’s salary and the number of years a person could serve in that position.
At the same time, the survey reveals that 72% of voters remain unfamiliar with all six of the charter amendments that they are being asked to consider. Still, that is a nearly 10-point change from a CPOR survey conducted in September, when 81% of respondents said they were unaware of the charter amendments referendum.
In the survey of voter opinions, conducted October 15-20, 43% expressed support for Proposition C, 27% were opposed and 30% were unsure. If adopted, Proposition C would amend the city charter to give city council “the authority to set the full terms of the city manager’s employment including tenure and compensation.”
By comparison, in a September survey conducted by CPOR, Proposition C had the least support of voters. Last month, 53% said they did not support it and 33% said they were in favor of the measure when asked if the charter should be amended to “remove the caps on the salary of the city manager and the number of years a person could serve in the position as city manager.”
The October survey used the ballot’s exact language while the September survey used brief descriptions of the propositions.
“It’s clear that, for a few of the propositions, there is a disconnect between voters’ understanding of the ballot language and their support for the effects the propositions would have,” said Bryan Gervais, 世界杯官方app associate professor of political science and CPOR director. “Public polling like that conducted by the center provides insight into what the public understands, what it doesn’t understand, and what that means for good governance and accountability. The results highlight why public polling is essential.”
The most recent CPOR poll queried 656 San Antonio likely voters to gain their thoughts and opinions about San Antonio’s charter amendments and the candidates running in the city’s 2025 mayoral race. The survey also measured support in high-profile federal races. This poll was administered in English and Spanish and has a margin of error of +/- 3.8%.
Established in Fall 2023, CPOR is a nationally accredited, academic public opinion research center that produces and facilitates basic and applied opinion research to broaden the shared understanding of important political and governance issues. The center is certified by the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)’s Transparency Initiative. AAPOR is an organization comprised of public opinion and survey research professionals in the U.S., with members from academia, media, government, the non-profit sector and private industry. As a member of AAPOR’s Transparency Initiative, CPOR practices transparency in reporting its survey-based research findings.
The 世界杯官方app Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR) uses stratified sampling for its election polls. Registered voters are divided into three categories: those who voted in the last general election (November 2022), those who skipped the last general election, and those who registered to vote after the last general election. Random samples of voters are then selected from each category in proportion to the share of the electorate each category is expected to make up in the November 2024 election, based on analyses of previous elections. Those selected are invited via email to complete the survey online. The sample is then weighed after the survey has been conducted. CPOR excludes voters from election-related questions who self-report they are unlikely to vote in the election.
