The Washington Post released a poll this week in which 54 percent of respondents said Mayor Vincent Gray should step down. The poll was taken to get a pulse on what DC residents think about the continuing revelations and scandals surrounding his 2010 campaign for mayor. According to the Washington Post, "Across categories of sex, ideology, party identification, income, age and geography, more say Gray should resign than not." Patch has a poll for Georgetowners to respond to as well. .
