Weekend Poll: Coeur d'Alene Councilman Ron Edinger has hurt his image in the eyes of Hucks Nation by his dug-in stand on McEuen Field and alliance with new Councilmen Dan Gookin and Steve Adams. 115 of 192 respondents (59.9%) said they viewed Edinger less favorable since he took his stand against Mayor Sandi Bloem and other recall targets and joined the minority side of the council. Only 51 of 192 respondents (26.42%) said they have a more favorable view of Edinger. 11 respondents (5.7%) said their view of Edinger hasn't changed, while another 11 (5.7%) said they have never supported the veteran council member. 5 respondents (2.59%) were undecided.
