That's pretty tight, but given that it takes 60% to pass the bond issue, these numbers suggest the school district has some convincing to do.
Now of course, the margin of error for Madville Times polls is bigger than any gym MHS will ever have, so keep your grains of salt handy. For instance, back in September, my poll on the county commission race got the winners right, Pedersen and Wollmann, though in different order. On the other hand, my poll was way off on the local sheriff's race: the tie between Lurz and Wyatt wasn't too far off, but my vote totally underrepresented Sheriff Hartman's support.
But consider: I was off on the sheriff's race because I suspect my readership underrepresents the older crotchety crowd that likes the status quo. If my school bond poll underrepresents that crowd, then the bond issue is in real trouble.
I was more impressed with your State Legislature, US House and other race predictions. Three and out. In baseball, you'd be back in the minors.
ReplyDeleteRod, don't confuse predictions with endorsements and poll results.
ReplyDeleteAnd you and Sweet, always with the sports analogies. Is that a way to subliminally reinforce the "new gym" message? ;-)
