Danny,

Pls come back and add the size of the sample studied by Embold.

You can NEVER go wrong by including the sample size.

But you know this!

It is basic information that provides context for the information.

It helps readers determine if the survey is valid.

Leaving it out makes the entire survey and the reporting on it seem fishy.

Here's the info from the survey's *executive summary* - not the JOLT article, not even the city manager's blog:

"Executive Summary: Public Opinion Executive Summary

** Page 3: Methodology Description

Embold Research surveyed 531 residents of Olympia, WA from May 1-8, 2023."
