More than 550 votes were cast in straw polls administered by the St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections office during the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce’s Politics in St. Johns series of events held in Ponte Vedra on July 16 and in St. Augustine Aug. 1.
“It’s certainly not a model to predict results,” said Bob Porter, the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce’s director of public policy. “However, the numbers of people at these events is large and, for the first time this year, we have held the poll in Ponte Vedra as well, so it could be a useful tool for candidates to gauge the public’s sentiment with only weeks to go before the Primaries.”
