New polling data shows how Memphis residents feel about Memphis Mayor Paul Young and Memphis Interim Police Chief C.J. Davis.
It also shows that at least a significant amount of a 500-person sample of likely Shelby County voters don’t know who they are.
The data also offers a snapshot into how people feel about the city’s new chief executive who has been on the job for seven full months and offers insight into how people view Davis, the interim chief awaiting a vote on her reapppointment.
