New poll shows uptick in approval for Knox County government

Hmmmmm….interesting:

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

The mid-January poll shows 44 percent of respondents approving or strongly approving of Mayor Ragsdale’s job performance, with the remaining 56 percent expressing disapproval or strong disapproval.

In a similar survey in the fall, around 33 percent gave Mayor Ragsdale an excellent or good rating. Close to 67 percent gave him a fair to poor rating.

The Knox County Commission rating appears to have undergone a similar upswing.

A combined 32 percent of people polled approved or strongly approved of the commission’s job performance. Five months ago, only a combined 23 percent rated the commission excellent or good.
