A brand new Gallup Poll has just been published on the question of
educational choice. The question asked was: "A proposal has been made
that would allow parents to send their school-age children to any
public, private, or church-related school they choose. For those
parents choosing nonpublic schools, the government would pay all or
part of the tuition. Would you favor or oppose this proposal in your
state?"

55% of polled parents with children in *public schools* favored the
proposed parental choice scheme. The article I have does not report
the response of parents whose children are already in private
schools,or of persons without school-age children.

I am not a strong believer in polls (the numbers can change when
vested interests spend millions to attack choice), but I share it for
what it's worth.
