Kennedy’s assassin Sirhan Sirhan in a new scientific poll of California’s likely voters released early this month Sirhan has been granted parole by a California board and now the panel’s decision faces a review that will require the Governor’s approval to be official. However, California voters are overwhelmingly opposed to the Governor approving the parole board’s recommendation, according to the new poll released today. 64% oppose freedom for Sirhan, and less than 20% of likely voters support the parole board’s decision to approve his release. The complete poll results may be downloaded here. The methodology of the poll meets peer standards and can be downloaded here. The poll was commissioned by James V. Lacy, President of the U.S. Justice Foundation, and conducted by the respected national polling firm of McLaughlin and Associates, whose survey research clients have included former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The survey research was conducted over August 30-31, in Spanish and English by live interviewers using phone, cell and text formats. The margin of error is +/- 4%. McLaughlin and Associates has now conducted two scientific polls this summer, one in early June and this poll, that also reveal majority support among California’s likely voters for the state’s death penalty laws. |
