OTOH:

"Most of the [Dover] school board incumbents who had defended the policy [teaching ID] were ousted in the November election, replaced by candidates who pledged to eliminate it."

OTOH: that is the way the contoversy should be handled. It was the people affected that decided what path should be taken. Those that had the concern showed up and selected the path. However, the poll numbers have been fairly constant throughout the years and the concerned individuals may change in the next election as it did in Kansas.

It would be interesting to have a FR poll question on the issue, such as:

"Do you think Creationism should be taught alongside evolution in public school biology classes?"

Yes
No
Unure

My guess is that "Yes" would get 65%+, with "No" and "Unsure" splitting the difference. I'd be surprised if "No" got even 25%.
