Despite an attempt to push this week's Eye Poll, Mayor Martin Chavez received an overall Disapproval rating by Eye On Albuquerque readers. In this unscientific poll of 463 participants, 44% Approved of the job the mayor is doing, 54% Disapproved, 2% Didn't Care and 2 participants Didn't Know.
We're really curious about what really happened here. We monitored the site after the blast email went out and sure enough voting picked up and Mayor Marty led most days until after 6pm. Generally after 6pm disapproval voters closed the gap and on some days overtook the approval votes. That ended Friday night when the disapproval gap took over.
We haven't heard about an approval poll done on Mayor Marty in some time; maybe as far back as the last election. We fully expected the mayor to end up with a majority voting for approval, especially after the push email went out. Surprisingly, that's not what happened.
Perhaps the mayor's involvement in cell phone bans, the MDC spat with the county, and the most harmful program of all - the red light scam-era program, has hurt him with Albuquerque voters. Only time will tell what this means to his gubernatorial ambitions and his ability to govern here in Albuquerque.
This week we're polling the Red Light Camera system. Don't forget to vote!

Glad to see the high disapproval ratings!!
By the way, Marty mentioned recently that "the Freeway cammeras would be up and operational in the next few weeks"... has anybody out there seen any going up yet? If so, where????
I'm sure that the trucking industry would like to know more details.
Can anyone say DEMISE !!
He said there would only be two, but like everything else he says, I don't believe him! Way too much money to rob!!
Wait till he puts cameras on every corner so he can ticket babies in strollers that aren't wearing helmets.....
