Fake News

Re: First Poll Results for Melrose Override

The problem is there is just not one reason to vote against the override there are a lot.

Re: First Poll Results for Melrose Override

The only poll out there shows the override losing 63% to 37%. Nice try though . Your sample size of 1000 gave it away as fake news

Re: First Poll Results for Melrose Override

Much of the talk in Melrose of late has centered on the upcoming tax override vote, with each side of the debate making their presence known and stating their respective cases to all who will listen.

Re: First Poll Results for Melrose Override

Quinnipiac hasn't done a poll since Dec 19th.

Re: First Poll Results for Melrose Override

The is fake news. Quinnipiac would not be involved in polling for a local override. No one cares outside of Melrose. The only thing we know for sure is that in the last override 5k Melrosians voted against the override 3 years ago. I think everyone in this city knows the city’s override playbook; pretend doomsday will come if override is not approved and manufacture a crisis and state the kids will suffer. The problem is the city’s strategy is so transparent and is contradicted by third parties. As a result,the majority of the people do not believe the propaganda coming from city hall.
