    Memorandum

    From:
    Oriana Sandoval, Center for Civic Policy
    Re: 2016 Landscape Results: Food Tax
    The Center for Civic Policy (CCP) commissioned Third Eye Strategies to
    conduct a statewide poll in early December of 2015 for the purpose of getting
    a reading of public opinion regarding some key public policy issues facing
    New Mexico.

    The Food Tax is very unpopular


    While New Mexicans are divided on many issues, they come together in
    opposition to imposing a sales tax on food. Four-fifths (80%) oppose it and
    just 15% support it. When couched as part of a broader effort to lower the
    sales tax on all goods, opposition stays strong (62%) while support comes in
    at just 29%. Voters in all income groups oppose it similarly.

    Food Tax

    This report is based on findings from a poll of 602 active registered voters who voted in the
    2012 general election or recently registered. Interviews were conducted by live callers on the
    nights of December 4th through 7th and has a margin of error of 4.28 percent. Both cell
    phones (310 interviews) and landline numbers (292 interviews) were called. Each phone

    number had an equal chance of being called and random selection was made in households
    with multiple eligible voters.
