Weekend Poll: Butch Otter, our governor from southern Idaho, likes to think of the five northernmost counties as "northern Idaho." Overwhelmingly, however, that's not how we consider ourselves. 195 of 232 respondents (84.05%) to a weekend poll say they live in "North Idaho" not "northern Idaho." Only 32 of 232 (13.79%) agree with Butch that this region should be called northern Idaho. 5 were undecided.
