Is Crime Really Keeping Visitors Away?

According to a UNO poll, crime is keeping visitors away from New Orleans.

Just over half of respondents to a University of New Orleans poll released Dec. 10 rated the city a 1, 2 or 3 in crime on a scale of 10, with 1 being "the worst city in the U.S." The poll of 775 people was taken Nov. 29-Dec. 4 and gauged the impressions of Americans outside Louisiana. Its margin of error was plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

Can we really trust anything UNO does? After all they have never had anything positive to say about New Orleans. Wonder why...as if we don't know.
