Seven out of 10 residents in North Carolina say they are interested in a television channel that would televise state legislative sessions and legislative committee hearings, according to data compiled in the most recent Elon University Poll.
The question was posed after a legislative committee began studying the issue earlier this season. That committee met again Oct. 21.
One in four respondents indicated not being interested in such a service.
The poll, conducted Sept. 29 – Oct. 2 by the Elon University Institute for Politics and Public Affairs, surveyed 477 North Carolina residents and has a margin of error of 4.6 percentage points. The sample is of the population in general, with numbers that include both landlines and cellular phones.
