SAN FRANCISCO - While the Golden State Warriors continue to defeat their opponents on the court this season, a new poll commissioned by opponents of the Warriors' proposed stadium in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood shows increasing public opposition to the plan.
The new poll released Monday, commissioned by the Mission Bay Coalition and conducted by EDC Research, found that fewer than half of the 540 registered voters polled supported development of the proposed arena and commercial buildings at Third and 16th streets.
At 49 percent voter support, the Warriors' proposed arena has seen a 12 percent decline in support since a Warriors-commissioned poll, conducted by David Binder Research and released in July, showed about 61 percent support for the development.
