The Role Of Public Opinion In The Boston Bid's Failure

The U.S. Olympic Committee is beginning the process of looking for a new candidate to host the 2024 Summer Games.

That's after the USOC and local organizers from the group Boston 2024 decided Monday to drop the Boston Olympics bid.

Steve Koczela -- president of The MassINC Polling Group, which conducted several polls for WBUR about the Olympics proposal -- joined WBUR's All Things Considered to discuss the role public opinion played in the failure of the Olympics bid.
