New poll coming on what people thinking of Robertson’s handling of Occupy Vancouver

November 8th, 2011 · 39 Comments

Yahoo, just got a call from a polling firm. Can’t believe I haven’t been contacted before, with all the polling that’s been going on in town.

But today got the robo-call from Forum Research with only a key few questions.

That’s the same firm that did a Canada-wide poll on mayors recently and came up with somewhat weird results, i.e.  that only 54 per cent of people in Surrey would vote for Dianne Watts again, although she had a 68 per cent approval rating. That’s even though 85 per cent voted for her in the last Surrey election.

Anyway, I digress.

1. Who are you voting for? Suzanne Anton, Gregor Robertson, Randy Helten, another or undecided

2. Which party are you leaning to? Anton’s NPA, Robertson’s Vision, Helton’s NSV or other

3. Do you approve or disapprove of Gregor Robertson’s handling of the Occupy Vancouver protest?

4. Who did you vote for in the last election?

And then some demographic questions. (Clue to you pollsters: I didn’t answer a single question on the poll truthfully. Check out the answers from the 25- to 34-year-old males and you’ll find me. Or not.)

So we can expect the results out sometime just before the election. Just remember, you heard it here first. These results will be absolutely reliable.
