The poll I mentioned was an independent poll conducted by Painted Dog Research. It was not a straw poll conducted by The West Australian, however, the results were published in The West.
Another poll, conducted by the Augusta-Margaret River Mail, surveyed 2,450 readers in different parts of the South-West and found that overall more than 65 per cent of respondents backed McGowan's decision.
