Thursday Poll: A majority of Hucks Nation considered the three questionable remarks highlighted in the poll from officials in North Idaho elected positions (Sheryl Nuxoll, Brent Regan, Ron Mendive) to be equally bad. 112 of 208 respondents (53.85%) voted "all of the above" re: the statement made by the three officials that amazed them most. Meanwhile, 28 of 208 (13.46%) each marked Nuxoll (who compared the health insurance exchange to the holocaust) and "none of the above." 27 of 208 (12.98%) voted for Mendive (who compared abortion to prostitution, and 13 (6.25%) voted for Regan (who told an insensitive anti-Obama "joke" at a recent forum).
