                          A  telephone  poll  commissioned  by  the  Santa  Clarita  Cityhood

                   Formation  Committee  indicates  that  incorporation  is  favored  by  a
                   better  than  2  to  1  margin  among  those  who  have  an  opinion.                        A


                   large  fraction  of  those  polled,  however,  have  not  yet  taken  a

                   who  can  qualify  as  voters  in  the  proposed  area.                   The  poll  has  a
                   statistical  margin  of  error  of  6  percentage  points.

                   issue.        When  asked  how  they  felt  about  incorporation,  those
