Online poll indicate wins for Cook and Ash

While time is winding down to the Sept 8 fall election, participates in the Mayors online poll are making their preferences known ahead of time.

If the poll is any indication, then both Frank Cook and Brenda Ash will emerge victorious in their respective races, with Ash avoiding a runoff in a three-way race for Seat 4.

However, both races could come down to non-internet users who are not aware of a poll being conducted online.

Jerry Hall is challenging the incumbent Seat 3 city commissioner Cook, while Valentina Webb the Seat 4 incumbent picked up challenges from both Ash and Anderson “Andy” Williams.

In both races the poll question was the same, if the city election were held today who do you think would be the next city commissioner?

Out of the 634 internet users who visited the Mayor’s Blog from July 25 to Aug 22, thirty-seven responded to the question posed in the Seat 3 race, while 64 responded to the question in Seat 4.

In Seat 3, 59% of the respondents decided on Cook as their preference, while 41% chose Hall. In Seat 4, 64% of the respondents selected Ash, while 25% picked Webb and 11% Williams.

The poll was embedded after the official qualifying period ended and set to allow only one vote per IP address for each race. Although unscientific, the poll clearly indicates the choices of internet users who have visited the site and participated.
