Chargers face uphill battle winning public vote for new stadium

SAN DIEGO -- One of the reasons the Chargers consider staying in San Diego a long shot is the public is unlikely this November to approve of paying for a new stadium.

Throughout the process, San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer has remained committed to any public contribution for funding a new stadium requiring approval by a public vote.

The Chargers funded two polls measuring the viability of a public vote passing for a new stadium in San Diego. One of the polls was conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates, a national firm that runs the well-known NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.
