An incumbent Boston mayor has not lost an election in more than six decades. While support for the Olympics faded, Walsh’s approval rating held strong.<br /><br />According to polls by WBUR, the mayor’s approval rating among Boston voters was 73 percent in July, just a percentage point shy of where it stood in January when the city became the US nominee for the 2024 Games. Over that same period, support for hosting the Olympics dropped from 50 percent to 44 percent."</i><br /><br />Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-86682197176456917492015-07-31T09:49:55.977-04:002015-07-31T09:49:55.977-04:00Nice to see a politician to put his ego behind his...Nice to see a politician to put his ego behind his cities needs.
