So what happened?

As you can see, the majority of the 25 folks who participated in the poll see Gary Roberts' sixth place finish in last week's election surprise. So what happened? Any theories out there?

I've got nothing. I tried to figure out if there was some backlash from his opposition to the override, but that just doesn't seem to hold up. Mary Eaton takes a shot at the Newburyport Blog today.

I'm taking down last week's poll results tonight.

I'll post another poll about the Council later this week. I decided to hold off a bit. I think I'm sounding a little too preachy.

It's Final

The first Newburyport Posts poll closed last night. The people have spoken ... again. Of the 16 people polled--a representative sample, no doubt--62% thought the NRA's proposal had too much parking.

This should put an end to all discussion.

Or not.

BTW, you'll notice the percentages don't add up to 100. Blogger probably should have rounded up to read that 19% or the participants thought the plans were fine and another 19% thought they didn't have enough parking.

Thanks to all who took time to participate. I'll try to post a Mayoral Poll by the end of the day.
