Poll finds support for Prop 1, but voters wary of price tag

A new SurveyUSA poll sponsored by KING-TV shows support for Sound Transit's latest Proposition 1 measure that would expand mass transit, but the proposition's electoral outlook gets much closer when voters are aware of the proposition's $18 billion price tag.

When simply asked whether they supported the measure, respondents said yes 49 percent of the time compared with 30 percent who did not favor the measure.
