January 8, 2007 Question: It has been suggested that the New Jersey Turnpike could be leased to a private company. The private company would run the turnpike and pay the state a large amount of money. How much have you heard or read about this proposal? Question: And do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea to lease the New Jersey Turnpike?
A majority of voters (54%) say leasing the N.J. Turnpike is a “bad idea” compared to just 17% who say it's a good idea. But 29% are not sure. Asked how much they've heard about this idea, 44% say they've heard “some” or “a great deal,” but 56% say they've heard “just a little” or “nothing at all.” Party makes little difference in voters' views: 53% of Democrats say leasing is a bad idea and 53% of Republicans agree. “Clearly there is room for change in the public's opinion of this idea since nearly a third haven't drawn a conclusion,” said Woolley. “But the early returns show the public is skeptical.” Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind poll of 611 randomly selected voters statewide was conducted from January 2 through January 7 and has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
