Press poll suggests lower spending this season

It's a good thing Black Friday clogged up so many cash registers throughout Kootenai County. According to the latest poll at cdapress.com, sales could go downhill from here.

The poll found:

• 7 percent (48 votes) say they'll spend more this year than last

• 24 percent (157 votes) say they'll spend about the same

• 68 percent (440 votes) say they'll spend less this year than last
