We recently included several winning Top Question Tuesday selections on an interactive poll. Stay tuned to this blog as we’ll be releasing the results over the next several weeks! And don’t forget to submit your own nominations for Top Question Tuesday using the box on the right of this blog.

One question asked whether respondents pay more, less, or about the same amount of attention to local political races (such as mayoral elections) compared to national political races. Overall, 8% of the respondents said they paid more attention to local races, 39% said they paid less attention to local races, and 52% paid the same amount of attention to local and national races.

Results did not vary widely across most demographics. Those with a college degree or more were slightly more likely (44%) to say they paid less attention to local political races, as were those living in the suburbs (45%), and those who are single (51%). No group was significantly more likely to say they paid more attention to local political races.

How much attention do you give to local political races? Are certain types of local races more interesting to you than others? Do you feel there is a strong relationship between local politics in your area and national politics?
