New Poll Shows 2-1 Margin Of Support From Hawaiians For Thirty Meter Telescope

"It was important for us to understand how Hawaii Island residents feel about the project, and the latest poll results demonstrate that opposition to TMT on Hawaii Island is decreasing. That's significant and we are most grateful that the community’s support of the project remains high. The findings also show that the general public on Hawaii Island understands the benefits TMT will bring in terms of Hawaii's economy and education, both of which are very important to TMT."
