Next Up: Newsmakers Mayor's Race Poll

On Sunday morning, we’ll post the results of the Newsmakers Poll, the first independent, professionally produced, statistical survey of the five-way contest for Santa Barbara mayor.

The poll also will show where things stand on Measure C, the proposed one-cent sales tax increase, as well disclose whether voters think Santa Barbara is headed in the right or wrong direction.

We'll keep you in suspense for now, except to say there are some surprises in the numbers.

Check back around 9 a.m. for our full report on the poll.
