| News poll says
North Van safer

WHILE NORTH Shore Liberal party officials
says it is all but certain that John Turner will run
in the riding of Capilano, a North Shore News
telephone survey shows the Prime Minister would
be better off in neighboring North Vancouver-

Burnaby.

The News survey con-
ducted on Saturday, two
days before the September 4
federal election was an-
nounced, asked 405 people
from Deep Cove to
Horseshoe Bay if they would
vote for Turner if he were
running for election as MP.
The results were then broken
down by riding.

The results for Capilano
riding show that only 23.5
per cent of those contacted
would vote for Turner while
31 per cent would not. A
whopping 35 per cent were
undecided and 10.5 pér cent
of those contacted refused to
answer

By area, only Dundarave
and Ambleside area respon
dants favored Turner

The Prime Minister fared
much better in North Van
couver Burnaby where 34 §

per cent of those contacted
said they would vote tor
him Twenty-six per cent
said they would not, 27 per
cent. were undecided and
128 per cent refused to
anawet

Those favoring Turner
outnumbered those against
him on all North Van arcas
Lower Lonsdale
Delbrook Upper Lonsdale.

(The results are not ab-
solutely precise because
News’ telephoning is based
on our newspaper distribu-

tion areas and several of
those areas straddle the two
ridings where they meet. The
survey also does not covet
the small area of north Bur-
naby that is included in the
North Vancouver-Burnaby
riding.)

When the figures for the
entire North Shore are com
piled, they show those op
posed to Turner and those
supporting him nearly even
(29-28 per cent) while the
number of voters claiming to
be undecided -- 32 per cent

is high) Overall, 11 per
cent of the respondants ref
used to answer the question

Turner has not) yet an
nounced where he will run as
a candidate for the Sept 4
election bul speculation has
centred aon three cvdiags
Captlano, North Van

couver Burnaby and Quadra

Capilano heading the list of

possibilities
