SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 — A scientific survey of registered voters in Bexar County says that two city charter amendments have low support among voters and there is no early leader in the 2025 San Antonio mayoral race. Additionally, voters have mixed opinions about new San Antonio Spurs and San Antonio Missions facilities according to the Bexar County Registered Voter Poll, which was conducted from September 11 to 16, 2024 by the UTSA Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR).
Established in Fall 2023, CPOR is a full-scale, academic public opinion research center that produces and facilitates basic and applied opinion research broadening shared understanding of important political and governance issues.
“The Center for Public Opinion Research aims to provide valuable insight on a broad array of topics impacting residents in our city, our region and our state,” said Bryan Gervais, UTSA associate professor of political science and CPOR director. “An ongoing and systematic understanding of how residents feel about key issues has the potential to fuel stronger community engagement and create opportunities for our city, our region and our residents to work together toward shared goals.”
CPOR’s September 2024 poll queried 692 registered Bexar County voters to gain their thoughts and opinions about San Antonio’s charter amendments, their familiarity with candidates running in the city’s 2025 mayoral race, and their perceptions around the possibility of new downtown sports facilities. This poll was administered in English and Spanish.
