New WBUR Poll Shows Anemic Support For Boston Olympic Games
Resume
The latest WBUR poll finds anemic support for the idea of bringing the Olympics to Boston in 2024 — more bad news for proponents of the Boston Olympics.
The statewide survey found that 49 percent of poll respondents oppose Boston's Olympic bid, and only 39 percent support it. On the other hand, a majority of those polled say they'd support the games if they were spread across the state — rather than clustered only in Boston.
