I declared myself undecided, even though that was not an offered option.  There were some questions that seemed to be anti-John Connolly, although it could also have been his campaign testing how attacks on his pro-charter school stance might affect his support.<\/p>\n\r\n\t<div style=\"\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"vertical\" data-text=\"Mayor's race survey polls, but for whom?\" data-url=\"http:\/\/abnewsflash.com\/?p=2177\" >Tweet<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, just before 9PM, I received a call that plumbed my concerns, biases and opinions about the mayoral race.
