WBIR.COM: Poll shows high voter interest, many undecided

A 10News political poll released Thursday shows record voter interest in this Tuesday's primary, but many voters cannot name a specific candidate.

[..]

The mid-January poll suggests Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale's job approval up from a similar survey last fall.

In other interesting findings, 68% disapproved of Knox County Commission's performance and 83% disapprove of Scoobie Moore's job performance. Oh my!

The full survey has some interesting questions and even more interesting results, such as most people polled prefer metro government, even if it raises taxes.

Also, most are aware of all the controversies and lawsuits and outcomes, so it would seem that people are paying attention and the media is doing a pretty good job keeping them informed.

By way of Katie at Knoxville Talks.



Survey asked what Cynthia Finch has on Ragsdale

and/or Arms, which has allowed her to remain on the public payroll, despite wholesale ethical and operational lapses which felled many others in the mayor's office which had committed similiar or lesses transgressions against the public and the public's money.

Hopefully, the local media will go ahead and pull the trigger this month, as from all indications, they know, but they aren't reporting.
